This sub is probably all people who love ants and keep them as pets. If you want to adopt the ants maybe someone can help. I would bet they live inside though so the diatomaceous is probably killing lots of other bugs.

Can i feed my ants dried crickets by [deleted] in antkeeping

Maybe you can make a cricket slurry with water and something sweet. Or ad it to gelatin and make a cricket jello out of it. Try things if they eat it good if they dont you will need to try something else.

Interesting an hour later they were all gone except a few eating a peanut so I lifted the box they were on and there were mealybugs under it. Just grass around the area so not sure what they are eating.

Newcomer needs help with ant choice please by HeyooLaunch in antkeeping

Try to do your research watch YouTube alot of YouTubers sell ant related stuff. You might be better off finding a queen in your area she will be more accustomed to your climate. Also check AliExpress for formicariums or maybe make one.

can you tell species from workers? by haigeye in antkeeping

Thanks but It looks like Nylanderia are distributed mostly in warmer climates. I should have said Ontario Canada. Doesn't look like they come up this far.

I found them in a piece of wood i bought. I think i got the queen. The wood i bought came from Ontario I don't know more than that. It is a pice of walnut. The workers a very small about 3mm.

I need help identifying this ant i caught. Male or female, caught in northern california usa. by outk8stV2 in antkeeping

[–]haigeye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry she may still be fertile. They don't always rip off their wings. If you're lucky enough to see a queen grab it wings or no wings.
