Is there any way of confirming that they are dust mites or something I should be looking out for in the future for now I think all my out worlds are sterilised

That's the best theory to what's happening I've heard. There is dust all over the room there kept in am always dusting there lids etc. I've tried hard to find mites on the ants but I don't see any. And there white so I should be able to spot them. They look like dandruff and the adults are big white...

Only the last few days have I been finding mite on there dead foods after 24h. Wonder why

Ok so far I have locked the ants in there nests. And filled there outworlds with boiling water and let dry. And still can not see any on the ants. Why's that ?????

Need to do a enclosure swap, will pheidole pallidula be okay in an antkit Ytong vertical nest with arena?? I know they are escape artists, but any more likely to get out of that??? I have one of them and there very good. I would bet they would be OK. Block the inner surface expansion ports with cot...

Well I have had at least two new ants in the past week born. And today I found this guy. With a different to head to all the other workers and nearly as big as the Queens head http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160508/91a09df024ff9be9f5895bd331c6c765.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160508/f58fa...

And I've also just noticed that a worker is in fact tucking in to a piece of the woodlouse! They're also finishing off the last scraps of moth they have so I'm expecting them to come out in force for more insect protein soon. I should probably buy some crickets? Curly wing flies and crickets are al...

That looks fantastic nice job.
