My Tetramorium are doing better, I moved them into a bamboo test tube so that I won’t need to move them everytime their tube runs out of water.

 

I fed them a cricket today, and they took one of it’s legs and started chewing it into smaller pieces.

here’s my dads colony, he bought a venus nest for them, and they’re growing pretty well.

It only takes a matter of time before the ants find a drop of honey/piece of food before they swarm it, and they look really cool while doing so.

 

As for my colony, they’re still doing pretty good.
