What's funny is I used to massacre ants when I was a little kid. Now I would never do that (except to S. invicta or something like that).

yeah when I was a kid I would play with action figures near their nests and pretend they were attacking my toys, or sometimes pretend my toys were hunting big game animals lol.  we did lots of silly things when we were kids.

That's what I thought. maybe charles jannet invented an "Real" formicarium, but uncle milton ant farms basically started antkeeping, or at least made people start to show more interest in ants.


Ants I am keeping:

 none for now, planning on being more active this year
