Booger?! I'd rather die than eat my booger let alone anyone else's booger. We need to give our ants royal treatment, caviar, wine, lobster and kobe beef.
lol, mine eat like kings (which is quite ironic). As for the "booger experiment", What was the context for that!?!?! did you simply run out of tissues and just decide to wipe your snot on one of your outworlds lol. I would actually like to know. I wonder if that's weird. Anyway, my apartment is full of ants so I probably shouldn't be talking.
Here is a list of what I regularly feed my ants :
Tetramorium sp. e : mealworms / superworms cut into sections, wax worm viscera (wax worms are decapitated and then "skinned" with the use of forceps. It's not fun, but it is either my ants are them.), sesame seeds (slightly crushed), diluted honey, nectar harvested from flowers, sugar water (white sugar), sunburst ant nectar (this serves as their main source of carbohydrates), crushed "Tetramin" fish flakes (Let me explain : It is full of oils and nutrients that aid in the development of larvae and the production of eggs. they also dye the larvae orange to red in color, since I only use the orange, yellow and red ones. I give it to them on occasion as a sort of dietary supplement.), wingless fruit flies (either alive or crushed).
Lasius neoniger : : mealworms / superworms cut into sections, wax worm viscera (wax worms are decapitated and then "skinned" with the use of forceps. It's not fun, but it is either my ants are them.), diluted honey, nectar harvested from flowers, sugar water (white sugar), sunburst ant nectar (this serves as their main source of carbohydrates), Dubia roach nymphs (crushed), wingless fruit flies (either alive or crushed).
P.S. I usually have much more than these two species in stock. In short, this year was terrible in terms of the high mortality rate of newly mated queens and collecting.
