Godzilla thread

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores it's provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. Proverbs 6: 6-8

 

Multiple ant colonies coming soon...

I need to get permits for these and start selling them, they are everywhere here. I've been finding queens ever since they started flying in July, and found another one today, way out of season. If there were ever an easy species to catch and sell en masse it's Tetras.

Did you ever get my PM? Apologies to cfreidsma, I don't mean to clog up the thread.
