Poll: POLL: Should I restart my odontomachus journal? (11 member(s) have cast votes)

I am thinking about restarting my old odontomachus brunneus journal however it was rather controversial and I didn't want to bring it back on the form unless you guys agree.

  1. 1. I should restart my Journal so people can learn about this amazing species for the good of science. (10 votes [90.91%])

    Percentage of vote: 90.91%

  2. 2. I should not bring it back (1 votes [9.09%])

    Percentage of vote: 9.09%

This post is not meant to incite a debate I ONLY want to know the majority's position on this, not the grumblings of a few angry people. So lets keep it clean please!

I think that if you care of ants in the right way and make sure they can't escape you should be able to keep whatever type you want.

Yeah, I also think you should do it.

Remember- over here in Europe, we are able to buy, sell and keep pretty much any ant species we desire and right now, on a German trading site, I can see even Marauder and Bullet Ants on offer.

I know, you are from the US, and I know there are issues, but I would love to see more of this amazing species.
