Ooh, a mystery. Can't wait to find out!

Formerly called AntsDakota, not to be confused with Ants_Dakota (hence the name change). You can still call me Adak.

Its strange how none of my ants like fruit flies.
Probably because you don't keep many small ants.

*pokes thread with a stick*
Hope your C. Maritimus Colony is doing well. I just picked up a C. Maritimus Queen and about 6 workers. Eager to Hear how your colony is doing.
They probably have around 50-60 workers i would assume, as I don't really count as they like to bundle up when shown to light. Need tips?
I love Camponotus!

Sounds like they are a healthy colony. Congrats
I bought a queen with 9 workers (I actually counted them this time) and few larvae in a test tube setup form Nurb Last weekend. My first time meeting him and a really friendly guy. Hey Nurb !
I am always open to any tips and information please send this way. I also keep bees and a joke amongst bee keepers is "If you ask 10 bee keepers the same question. You'll get 11 different answers." I'm not sure how the world of anting is compared to bee keeping. But I am excited to find out. Nurb put together an amazing PDF that seems pretty straight forward.
I purchased a TarHeelAnt Fortress type lll that should be here by this weekend. I also have two kids that are 4 and 5 that help me out with bee keeping here and there. They are both very excited to dive into the world of ants.

i am sure your kids will love it. My favorite genus right now is camponotus because of their size and easy ability to see. hope you enjoy!
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
