Hi all! Thanks for allowing me to join, I am from Singapore, Asia and I am new in Ant Keeping hobby!

I purchased my 1st colony of Carebara Diversa about 5 weeks ago, from a test tube set up of about 40 workers with Queen and brood.

Will be sharing my ant keeping journey here with everyone as well as learn from everyone here and pick up more knowledge about other sp and maybe expand my collection!

Welcome to the forum! It's always a treat to see what enthusiasts from across the seas have since those of us in the US can't get those species usually.

Thanks,
