I have a queen brachymyrmex patagonicus that is going to have workers soon (she has three pupae and too many larvae to count) and I want to know what food is best for brachymyrmex.

Currently keeping:
Brachymyrmex patagonicus: https://www.formicul...onicus-journal/
Solenopsis invicta: https://www.formicul...nvicta-journal/
Crematogaster sp.: https://www.formicul...ter-sp-journal/
The usual protein and carbohydrates will do for this species. They like honey and sugar water as carbohydrates and I believe they would like mealworms, crickets, roaches or practically any insect (add more variation to protein as the colony gets bigger) from what I’ve seen as they form massive supercolonies with multiple queens. This species diet is similar to that of S. molesta (while in captivity) so I feed Brachymyrmex what ever S. molesta will eat. Hope the his helps and good luck with your colony!I have a queen brachymyrmex patagonicus that is going to have workers soon (she has three pupae and too many larvae to count) and I want to know what food is best for brachymyrmex.
Keeping:
3x - S. molesta (colonies and single queen) 1x - C. nearcticus (founding but no eggs) New!
1x - C. chromaiodes (colony) 1x - C. subbarbatus (founding)
1x - F. subsericea (founding) 1x - T. sessile (mega colony)
3x - P. imparis (colonies)
2x - L. neoniger (founding)
Check out my C. nearcticus journal here: https://www.formicul...cticus-journal/
Check out my C. chromaiodes journal here: https://www.formicul...aiodes-journal/
I've seen people feed them mostly the same as other ants cars and protien.
Currently keeping: 2 C.vicinus colonies.2 C.sansabeanus. 1 C.leavissimus. 2 C.Ca02. 1 V.pergandei. 4 T.immigrans.1 F.pacifica. 1 C.hyatti
1 M.ergatognya
Trying to get my hands on :C.modoc,A.vercicolor, and Any Honeypots
they'll eat seeds too. xyloni is known for it. bermuda grass seeds would probably be acceptable.
