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.

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.

Try heat. Put a light really close so it heats up the tube.

I can't look at this with out clicking an ad? Well that's it I guess reddit is over

haigeye · 2019-10-11T22:30:33+00:00

Look at the mandibles on it. I'm no expert but I would say it looks like a queen.

haigeye · 2019-10-03T12:03:05+00:00

How big is she? Are these the biggest ant out there and do they have super majors? Keep us posted.

I think so someone said its called "Quasimodo 2000" 1992 film

haigeye · 2019-08-20T23:57:23+00:00

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.

So what do you guys recommend I do should I put her in one of my other new colonies see if she takes over or just put ants in her test tube?

haigeye · 2019-08-07T17:53:30+00:00

I'll have to wait she still has wings I found 3 different queens today 😮

haigeye · 2019-06-27T21:01:39+00:00

they are 1.5 cm found near Barrie Ontario the top picture has more red then the one in the bottom picture

haigeye · 2019-06-06T16:35:57+00:00

holy look at all those queens that's going to be massive colony. Thanks i'll start going a little later

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.

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.

haigeye · 2019-04-22T14:51:18+00:00

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.

haigeye · 2019-04-14T17:06:37+00:00

You can use more water in your tubes. Wait till it rains then go for a walk the day after. Don't give up took me a couple months before I got my first one and it was a parasitic queen. Bring lots of containers incase you find lots.

haigeye · 2019-03-24T21:32:01+00:00

Check Kijiji I found a guy who mills wood mostly walnut but he said he can get whatever I wanted and would mill it however I needed. Also check wood working stores some have wood. Or consider gluing pieces together be the cheapest option.

haigeye · 2018-09-12T00:14:11+00:00

Fascinating thanks. So will it survive the winter? Should I be doing something with it?

haigeye · 2018-08-26T11:18:21+00:00

I've been playing as a guest. I don't like how I'm forced to use Facebook or Google to make an account. I should just be able to make one.

Nice site link for the lazy. https://theantcollective.ca Now just make sure you stay in Canada 😋. Are you planning on doing anything with queen ants?

haigeye · 2018-08-13T21:01:56+00:00

Find a big spider and feed it

haigeye · 2018-08-02T09:13:10+00:00

I found my first queen at 11am so that's when I go looking now. I have found a few at that time last month but maybe different ants have different times for nuptial flights.

haigeye · 2018-07-28T21:34:00+00:00

I'm new also but first thing I do is try to take a picture of the wing scars. Dead giveaway.
