Hey guys! Im gonna be headed to Australia in a few days and I'm looking forward to all the different ant species there! I can't wait to see them in action :D :D :D Does anyone know what I can expect in Australia? Any species that I should look out for? I know that it is colder there around this time...

Hey guys! Springs here and so are the ants! I'm getting a great head start on solenopsis indictable queens! Anyway, I recently moved my young phiedole colony into their new nest! However, some of the workers died off!!! Now I'm left with a queen and only a few workers! :( I am trying to move the sur...

Hey guys! It's been along time since I've posted. I guess when ants go on hibernating, so does the forum! I was wondering, with nuptial flight season coming up, if we could all put our heads together to make a queen ant trap! There are so many unique animal traps made for specific purposes, why not ...
