Tetramorium will develop more quickly at 27-30 C than at cooler temperatures.

It isn't needed. Room temperature is fine, but there will be faster development at higher temperatures.


Species I keep:

 

1 Lasius cf. Neoniger 30 workers

1 Camponotus sp. 15 workers

20 Tetramorium SpE 30 workers

1 T. Sessile 200 workers
