Hello kiedeerk;
I enjoy your photos and journal. I'm wondering if these ants would accept something other than dried rose petals, like dried herbs. Would they use something like dried parsley, a gently flavoured herb? I don't keep these kinds of ants and I'm just curious. Thank you

Interesting thought. In the wild they mostly forage for flower petals but also leaves. Parsley and herbs tend to have strong smell and scent so I am not sure they will like. They are still picky about which flower they will use for the fungal garden. Their favorite by far are roses but once spring comes I will give them a variety of fresh flowers to choose from
