I have recently aquired a 3 queen colony of A. versicolor and they have big fungus gardens. I will update this once or twice a week or if something big happens.

 

Here are some photos prior to me getting them:

I can't wait to see another chonker

This is tuture. I'm so jealous. I hope your colony does amazing so I can at least enjoy them from afar.

yesss i agree. i’ve always wanted to keep this species, but i literally just can’t afford them lmao

I hope you guys get a colony each. So far they are so cooky. I might be setting up a shop in the following months and if the rains are in my favor I might be selling some so who knows.

Acromyrmex won't fly this year. All flights have been dismissed since it didn't rain.

I was looking at the fungus gardens and was comparing it to the original photos and saw a huge growth but when I looked closer I noticed that it was a massive pile of brood! You can see it in the last photo I posted.

I am now weirded out by these ants. They don't mind light (they might even like it).

[Ants_Dakota]

really? that is pretty unnatural. i guess you can train them though.

[Zeiss]

Most ants won't mind light.  I've never kept ants that were skittish to it, they mostly freaked out from the vibrations of moving them.

[ZTYguy]

But they will follow the light like its going to take them to heaven or something.

I just saw a worker carrying a pupae in the outworld then it took it back inside the nest.    Such weirdos.

I suck at using a macro lens though.

So they were getting so large and I have plans to split the colony in three for a breeding project I attached an older model of DSPdrews nest to the original nest.
