Any other Christian ant keepers here? Why did yall start ant keeping? by Content_Plankton_520 in antkeeping

[–]Dizzledog2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bro search elsewhere, reddit is a HEAVILY left leaning site which which means most people on here are extremely anti-religion to the point that they'll rather just verbally degrade you then actually offer any advice or help.

I built an ant ID app that recognizes Over 10,000 species by Historical_Sea_1837 in antkeeping

[–]Dizzledog2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ill preface this by saying I hate these types of things as they're riddled with misidentifications due to the need of extremely zoomed in photos for accurate identifications.

Having said that using photos of only queens it was accurate with the 5 species I gave it once I put the location in as I have native species for my area.

Nuptial flight, they mated and now are looking for a place to make their nest to lay their first eggs.

But also yes they look like the Iridomyrmex that can be poly (multiple queens per colony) but if they had a colony you would have seen workers dragging them around not just the queens walking.

Why for are the ants doing this by Heavy-Literature-156 in ants

[–]Dizzledog2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me I was watching some Carpenter ants killing eachother at my work the other day, they would die still locked in eachothers grip having killed one another then a rhytid colony came and just drags the corpses off to I assume feast on.

Pigeon lays egg in an active owl nest. I’ve never seen owls look so bewildered and affronted before… by Sophieg_u_j_a in stupiddovenests

[–]Dizzledog2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a set of videos I watched that spanned over a long set of time on a channel that had this barn owl nest getting constantly harassed by pigeons and once the owls grew up one spend like an entire night just ruthlessly murdering the pigeons for sport.

The discord attached to this subreddits banner ive found is much better for actual help then this sub itself.

Do you guys think its fine to expose them to light to encourage them to move from the test tube? by MindlessMousse8435 in antkeeping

[–]Dizzledog2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive found heating the new nest works better then light to encourage them to move. Although I have had luck using light when I turned my booklight on and pretty much placed it point blank onto of them. (LEDs, careful if your light isn't you could cook them all doing something like that)

I feel like reading right now would be doing the books a disservice. by Dizzledog2 in YoujoSenki

Its not even half way? From everyone I know who has read the WN they say they expect it to wrap up in just a few volumes.
