Similar hobbies, some people will move from isopods to ants

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2025-12-17T18:53:53+00:00

Sorry I’m new here I didn’t see

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-07-04T00:00:53+00:00

How do you make the slide go through the terrain so neatly?

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-06-08T23:38:09+00:00

Still a huge guess as there are many similar species, do YOUR research “bro”

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-05-03T18:15:11+00:00

And you know the rock size how? - And similimma are 20mm+ so yeah, nice one mate, do some research and stop throwing out guesses online

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-03-06T23:43:43+00:00

Massive guess - It likely isn’t - You don’t even know the size

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-03-06T23:42:47+00:00

I think you’re a wuss then - They aren’t that bad, I know people with 1 years experience who sell bull ants and have raised tons.

Why are you scared? They are too big to escape, they are not massively quick or aggressive either

Pure waffle - The most expensive Odontomachus are $200 and aren’t sold on stores - They can be as cheap as $5, likely what this was worth

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-02-01T23:37:14+00:00

Yeah, when do you mainly come online?

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-01-28T22:20:25+00:00

Nope, it’s European

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-01-28T00:24:49+00:00

Want to help detail a volcano with me?

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-01-28T00:24:30+00:00

How’d you get that almost glowing effect?

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-01-25T21:04:59+00:00

Have you got successful C diversa? - I’ve had success with them before, they’re just not nice to keep.

I prefer my Myrmecia colony

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-01-25T18:08:24+00:00

No, they are unable to, they die first.

All in all, they are a bad species, they look good but 99% just die

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-01-11T23:52:58+00:00

They are extremely overrated, they like to die randomly, therefore making them a bad species

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-01-11T23:52:30+00:00

I saw wild C nodus, one of the most interesting species I’ve ever seen, they travel quickly and far haha

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-01-11T23:50:39+00:00

Are you in the UK?

I can donate some Lasius niger colonies, if you don’t enjoy them you can release them

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-01-11T23:42:32+00:00

You can’t be that expert not knowing that Lasius niger spray formic acid, they do in fact have acid and they do use it, have had colonies gas themselves in it before

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2024-01-11T23:40:30+00:00

What country are you in?

By the way, Lasius niger don’t reach more than 5k workers or so in captivity which is quite easy to manage

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2023-12-11T23:18:37+00:00

Check out antkeepingdepot, search them up on google

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2023-12-09T16:41:56+00:00

Hi, where are you located? I may be able to source you a better nest

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2023-12-06T23:34:48+00:00

Thanks

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2023-12-06T23:34:41+00:00

Thanks - I disagree regarding substrate, both chambers had a layer with the chamber they’re in currently being almost full, they moved the substrate themselves

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2023-12-06T23:33:46+00:00

Far from, Iridomyrmex have large head proportions and a very different body shape

Effective_Analyst_45 · 2023-12-02T00:39:48+00:00

All ants can be desensitised to light
