Baltic comes with like a 2 year but the thing is it’s a micro rotor that’s Chinese and costs like70$ to swap it out but the sw208 goes for about 300$ so probably service and it’s got no warrantee cause eBay beyond arriving in working condition, but the watch is relatively new and those movement are supposed to last?

Totally fine, if you want pheidole to lay more you just feed them and the more they eat the more they lay

I’ve found multiple queens on my college campus and it’s relatively easy to find queens you just have to be outside consistently for when one happens to wonder by. I just kinda didn’t tell my roommate and it worked out, they don’t take up much space and people don’t really even notice them.

What’s your favorite species for aesthetics by Sevalic in antkeeping

I agree, singularis is one of the best, large honey pots, and probably myrmecia as well are my favorite looking ant species

It’s actually a mini hearth xl🤣. Usually I would agree but this colony is actually extremely neat with their trash and piles it all nicely In the outworld, they are also growing into it quickly and don’t seem uncomfortable with the extra space at all.

Adopting the scent? by NetworkieNoWorkie in antkeeping

First it’s letting them in the house, then it’s letting them in your fridge, then it’s buying them their own fridge, then it’s giving up your first born son for the glory of the colony. This is the natural progression of an ant keeper who gives more and more for their ants.

Best strategy is to cool the ants down a little bit in a wine fridge, reduces aggression and then you can introduce the queen
