Really Impressive! How are they doing at this point?

Hello, in my personal opinion I would not buy from Ants canada. His prices are very expensive. Ants Canada works off of his very popular you tube channel. He attracts new people to the hobby and hopes they buy from him since they are only aware of Ants Canada store and are not sure as to whether the...

Just subscribed to your channel. ;)

I put her into hibernation, she wasn't going to eat anyway because she was ready for hibernation, or at least thats what people at formiculture thought.

Already had this idea, and I was thinking of putting some tropical fish in the water, but I am gonna let you try first. Haha, I really lack creativity! Thats why I didn't do it

Already a member there Nobody from Nevada there either

I am wondering if there is any Nevada ant keepers here with queens. ???

Hey people, i am going to be hibernating my Camponotus pennsylvanicus colony outside like I do with all of my Camponotus pennsylvanicus colonies. However my one queen just has larvae and I believe they have stopped growing in preparation for hibernation. I gave her a spider when she had eggs and she...

That's just great, love it! You did one heck of a good job on this!

Camponoutous Pennsylvacius queen currently just has larvae, post pics later!

Just want to say this is amazing, good Job!

In my opinion, do not go with myrmica species at all! The species is more difficult to care for then most people make it out to be. I would deifnetly if I was you go with lasius niger, their super active, the colony grows quickly, over all aside from camponoutous pennsylvacius, lasius niger is my se...

*PATIENCE* Lasius Niger are especially a stubborn ant species!

Yeah, probaly, the location for it i believe is right!

This a a red carpenter ant queen! A super fun species to keep! Check out this video on these ants. Super helpful!

Good to hear it!

oh that's awesome man, I am asuming it's for ants, what species?

They can wait until they are put in the formicarium, however if it was me I would feed them one of them big fat spiders, I'm finding spiders are definetly prefered by them. However be sure it's dead if you were to put it in the test tube so you don't put stress on the queen! I'm sure they would enjo...

Ok thanks, i have heard these colonies are slow growing, If you haven't already seen this video, you might find it helpful. Just discovered it recently myself!

Hey benjwuf, first of all I just wanted to say I just notice both of us are on this forum as well as formicaulture.com! However do you have any idea how old that colony is? I currently have a Camponoutos Pennsylvacius colony and I am still waiting on the first workers as all the queen has is larvae?...

I caught this whole colony today after a flood here! I captured them and saved them!

I have seen this species come out of mature colonies in late fall, their like left overs from the nuptial flight that never flew out and mated? When they come out they are typically either just foraging around with workers and return to the nest later. Then next year during the summer they will prob...

No Problem, glad me and asoroa could be of help!

Huh, i like what I am hearing, do you know what the average life span of a single worker is? Obviously if they only live around 2 months then the colony won't be quite as large.

Hi everyone, I have kept a lot of ants but never myrmica Rubra before. I would like to now the average life span of the workers? Also with about 5-9ish fertile queens how large can I expect my colony to get? I will add more queens if i find them. currently I have four ones i found in our pool with w...

No problem! I have been keeping ants four about 4 years now! Lasius niger and lasius flavus are very comparable! Ant kit is a good spot to get ants from.... they are reliable. If you are to buy a formicarium, rather than make one. I would look into tar heel ants. theirs are beautiful, very natural, ...

i think it is about time to change the tube, the cotton is getting a little moldy! You know how to do that?
