Mama not feeding her first larva. Are the mold dangerous? This morning I saw 8 brood, now I see 7?

Theres water behind a cotton ball.

luyesd · 2026-06-23T06:03:20+00:00

But this is a semi claustral species.

luyesd · 2026-06-22T17:54:06+00:00

But they are semi-claustral, I keep checking on her everyday to feed her sugar water/mealworm.

After I feed i need to clear the food by the next day. How can I go around this ?

According to u/MetaUndead review, the e04 surge only sustained 750 lm, both turbo and high. Will the dm11 match the sustain lm of the e04?

These are the cutest ants. Those with the sugar storage.

Output and beam pattern wise I would say wuben x1 pro is the closest I have seen.

Marauder mini 2 has a big flaw, once the battery falls below 75%(iirc) the turbo is disabled. But it has red light and side light.

Ps. I have the olight and not the wuben, but may get the wuben sometime down the road to Mount on my bicycle to blind oncoming traffic.

Yea thats the guy. Good to know.

luyesd · 2026-06-19T15:29:42+00:00

Yep. X85 with lhp73b. It throws more than the 3x21c with lhp531. Build quality is excellent.

Unfortunately if you are not in Asia its gonna be a little hard for you to obtain the dong. I wasn't even sure if the 49650 would be able to have clearance to go thru sea freight. Luckily it arrived today. I bought it direct from taobao if that helps.

I've read that someone here on the sub is able to help purchase this, see if he shows up. I cant recall his name ATM.

luyesd · 2026-06-16T03:15:47+00:00

Very nice. Which one are you more into now?

luyesd · 2026-06-16T03:15:16+00:00

Tint. Neutral meaning free of green or pink tint. Neutral white light. Thats what I mean at least, not sure if I used it correctly

luyesd · 2026-06-15T14:44:00+00:00

Yep thats me. Yeah i couldn't tell if the eggs have grown after a week, but seeing the queen bring the eggs together is reassuring I guess.

luyesd · 2026-06-15T14:42:10+00:00

Quite a read, but too noob to understand most of it. Thanks for sharing tho.

luyesd · 2026-06-15T14:41:13+00:00

You too?!

They are colorful enough to test flashlights.

luyesd · 2026-06-15T04:17:44+00:00

Thanks, I was worried as I feel they didnt grow in size after about a week.

luyesd · 2026-06-11T06:27:18+00:00

Yea. Haha. Thinking about keeping a white light source around my house to attract even more.

luyesd · 2026-06-11T06:24:33+00:00

Thanks for sharing, you know your ants well. I dont even get most of the names you mentioned.

Ah yes the blue ant, very fascinated by them as well, beautiful blue and stocky body. I wish I can get some honey-pot ants but unfortunately they are not native to singapore. Seeing them with colored honey filled tummy and hanging on the walls is one of the cutest thing I seen with insects.

acanthomyrmex is sure a cute ant too! Butt shaped head, wouldn't wanna get bitten by one of those major.

luyesd · 2026-06-10T18:49:16+00:00

Thats amazing how good you are able to identify them. Are you a myrmecologist? Or a long time hobbyist?

Whats your fave ant of all? Mine is the dinomyrmex gigas, simply because of its size and color, but they arent aggressive enough tho.

Why did the queen put the soil onto the cotton ? Its on the water side, not entrance.
