I just received a 2 queen colony of Brachymyrmex depilis from Ants_Dakota! They are in a Por Amor Cryptic Ant Insert with a refillable test tube! I really like the insert. I may have to experiment with making my own. I'm very excited to have this colony! I've had these on my wishlist for a while. I highly recommend Ants_Dakota! Customer service was excellent, shipping was great, and the ants are high quality! I also have to praise the ethics of Ants_Dakota! When the colony of Solenopsis molesta was found to have only 1 queen and no workers or brood he threw it in for free with no extra charge! I know some ant sellers who would ship it out anyways in such an unhealthy state.

Sorry about the photo quality. I couldn't really get a good camera shot through the condensation from the test tube!

I have to say that those colonies look amazing in that insert. I am really hopeful that it will provide an optimal condition for them to lay eggs, and honestly they look the healthiest I have seen them in those pictures, so good job!

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
