Haha, well I think they have a lot of pros, but there are quite a few cons. The problem is every time you think you have it all figured out, the ants do something unexpected. I want so badly to completely figure them out, but it just seems like it'll never happen. Sometimes I'll have a colony that does wonderfully in a test tube, while others are doing horribly in something else that seems like it should be so much better for them.

It seems both P. Imparis and Honey pot ants species are hard to care for.
