I also have a temnothorax colony as well although I’m unsure of the exact species. Very nice colony you got there!

I honestly love these guys so much they are really cute and funny to watch. They walk pretty slow and eat everything I give them. They also grow relatively fast and every time I open there out world they run back inside :3 here is a picture of them now they have grown so much :D
(Yes they are in an ants Canada setup I was a noob and I ordered it)

So these tiny gals are doing OK in an AC Test Tube Portal setup?    
I was wondering what I could use for some theif ants I hope to catch next month... I think they're even tinier though.

Yes they are doing great. The setup is actually pretty good they like the little nest entrance too and it is completely escape proof

I ordered these gals a fancy new “twig nest” because they are starting to move near their entrance hole with brood. (The photo is from their website https://buckeyemyrme...ick-nest-small/ )

I once saw a hand blown glass acorn. And ever since I've been obsessed with the idea of keeping acorn ants in a little glass bubble.

Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.

I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.

If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.
