They will need insect protein to thrive.

I have never heard of Tetramorium eating flowers. I will have to try that someday with a new tetramorium colony, since my old one got eaten by Argentine ants.

they got a fresh bee and fly . This time of the year I leave a small piece of meat outside in a bag so flys lay eggs and my ants love the larvae.
