Hey Ant Lovers I was making a plaster nest with embedded jar filled with dirt and a queen acrobat ant landed on the table in front of me. I put her in the nest, and she tore off her wings and went down the hole I had pre-made for her. I didn't know what kind of ant she was, but recently about seven workers came out with heart-shaped gastors. The net says they are arboreal ants, but so far they are happy in the dirt, and I see new ants freshly ecluded.. I've fed spiders, sugar H2O, meal bug
Hello, I want an ant queen. I have tried to dig up one, and search for them during mating times, but I have had no success. Can you make a video that shows you getting the ants and such? I would be very grateful. :)
Nice colony, though I hope you remember to remove the dead insect after they're done with it. Decomposing insect matter can fill the small space of the tube up with Carbon Dioxide and suffocate the colony. (Fun Fact: they can be brought back to life up to about 24 hours later if you replace the air and remove the source from the tube.)
@mrilovetheants Thanks Milta, I have experienced the carbon dioxide situation before and have learned from it. I also brought them back after too lol.

All your other colonies look nice too.
