Hi everyone. I just started ant keeping. I have a ~20 workers Messor barbarus colony that just moved a few days ago from the test tube to the formicarium.

Welcome! Wish we had Messor here in the States. I'm sure you'll learn a lot here!

Hello there!

Messor are awesome, I also keep a nice strong colony. They are great to watch and especially the majors are beautiful.
