I ordered a colony of Myrmecocoystus melliger colony and on 7/13/23 they arrived. I was happy to see the colony arrive safe and sound, they came with 4 workers, a gorgeous queen, and lots of brood! Once they had settled in I gave them a piece of mealworm and some sugar water. I am super excited to watch this colony grow and get repletes. As this is my first time keeping honey pot ants tips would be appreciated. One more thing, here are some pictures:3?ui=2&ik=5b96e6d794&attid=0.1&permmsgidezgif-1-626d64db2f.gif3?ui=2&ik=5b96e6d794&attid=0.0.2&permmsg

It looks like you are trying to use URL's to your Gmail account as an image. You will need to upload the image somewhere and then get the URL directly to it, or the BBCode.

So none of my images are visible? And how do I do the BBCode?

How do I get it to show the actual picture instead of just a link?

Do what I told you, and that’s what will happen.

You should PM them directly I don't think they saw it. 


Keeper of:
Camponotus castaneus | 20-25 workers
Tetramorium Immigrans | 1,000+ workers (yes I gave them a brood boost don’t be salty!)
Aphaenogaster Rudis | 16 workers
Pheidole bicarinata | 50-60 workers

Ants are just better.
