I used to know someone who took really good Macropictures. In the meantime you can just make a thread asking for help with Macro pictures

It will be very cool :) I will be very happy if someone can see my work :)

 

I will try to do a good dubbing to make it interesting and fun to watch :)

No need to try harder, as long as you try your best. That's what made the first video so amazing. You gave your best effort, but didn't push yourself too hard and become "burnt out". And to that, I appreciate your videos

Thanks so much for your words. This is very wise.

This is simply unthinkable :) We live on different continents, in different countries, we speak different languages, but small ants make us closer to each other :) It's just great :)))

We have a saying: "Moscow was not built right away." This means that it takes time to reach any goal. If the goal is good, then the time to achieve it is not a pity :) Sooner or later, people will learn to understand and respect each other :) And for this to happen faster, you need to communicate more and have more common interests :)

Are Tetramorium common in Russia? Here in Virginia, they are one of the most abundant ants in disturbed habitats.
I would like to hear the background stories of how your colonies started.

Tetramorium are like fire ants as they are basically everywhere, however unlike fire ants, they have found they're place in the ecosystem and thus, aren't considered invasive

It would really depend on where in Russia though.
