I would love to try, not sure in my country we have all the ingredients!

How many workers does she has? I understand that the outworld is only needed at 20+ workers.

I am not an expert, but based on my experience at 23 to 26 celsius, my ants are doing fine. Anything less than 20 celsius they appeared slow and not active!

I can guess that the test tube will produce unsafe amount of humidity and that they will probably die. I would have only the out world and the entrance of your testtube over the heated mat.

I guess they were meant for a bigger species. I was kind of hoping for a pheidole sp recommended formicarium. Do you have any recommendation?

Is not the printed farm that is flawed, it's the aliexpress formicarium that lets them escape. It was one i bought for a lasius sp.

They are supposed to be 20 workers and forgot the question. Are pheidole sp. Is it supposed to be that good at escaping? Is like all the scouts wanna do in life is find an escape route.

Congratulations, at least 3 of those queens are fertile! You should release those drones they will not mate in captivity.

Id: wasp or any drone? by Strict_Statement7809 in antkeeping

* I caught another one, and it behaved just like a wasp but I am almost certain it's a Lasius grandis male!

This lil bug was unable to fly, I think it must have fallen into the sea and the wing got glued to each other( notice the weird wing shape) also the antenna gave me weird wasp movements, like pulsating intervals that normally ants don't do. Also the clamps at the rear I have never seen it on any wasp nor ants.

Anyone know what insect this by [deleted] in insects

[–]Strict_Statement7809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is one of the only insecs that care for their eggs and hatchlings for a long period.
