Hello, kinda new to the hobby. I have a colony of Tapinoma Sessile, Camponus castaneus, tetramorium I'm., Monomorium minimum, Camponotus nicobarensis, Prenolepis imparis, yellow field ants and Pheidole megacephala. I will be getting a colony of Solenopsis Molesta. I use Tar Heel Ants formicarium.

Welcome! It seems like you have a lot of colonies, you should make journals for all of them. I hope your colonies do well!

You are just in luck, because I just finished a post on yellow field ants here if you would like to follow along with a fellow keeper. Feel free to comment and compare your colony in the thread. Beyond that, welcome to formiculture!

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

There is a tutorial here and another tutorial here. The first one is mostly about how to post the pictures but the second one is about how to take pictures of ants.

Your first link does not work, is there any way you could fix that?

How do I do that?

 

I used the Attach buttons at the bottom of the page. Sometimes I've had to click another button to open the full editor.
