I hope you are enjoying a nice weekend.

I'm trying to put together some basic info linked to "common" species in Formiculture forums (including the Ant's Market).

To avoid a long list, I'm going to divide it in 3 posts (probably one per week).

 

I'd love if you participate correcting and/or filling the missing data (???).

This could be a good starting point to make some new basic Care Sheets (in the CS section of Formiculture) or update some of the current ones.

 

Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

According to dspdrew"s store and AntsEmporium, C. sansabeanus does not require hibernation, but I don't know if that is just based on where they were collected from.

The humidity for camponotus pennsylvanicus seems kinda high? My Camponotus live in an unwatered wood nest. The humidity in their outworld is 50 to 60 percent. In the nest I assume it's a little higher... but not by much. Also you can add crickets, fruit flies, spiders and mealworms to the list of foods. They also like apple slices and wet cat food as a treat.

Thanks for sharing. I had my doubt about it, but I remember seeing that (aka, that they require "hibernation") in pages like: https://www.fourmish...s-bbaaaacTa.asp
I'm updating the board. Again, thanks for share your knowledge.

Thanks a lot for the info. I am updating it to 50% to 60%.

Thanks also for the extra data.

Have a great day.
