Hi guys, thank you for creating an awesome forum, I'm very new in ant keeping.
I'm actually an Australian staying in Jakarta for a short period of time. Since there's so many ants around the house got me curious.
Odontoponera Traversa brought me here, I caught flightless queen and now she laid some eggs, so I will be making a small formicarium for her, Advice on transferring to new enclosure will be great.
I also caught a Cantonopus Iritans queen, no eggs yet, what medium do you guys use to keep her from escaping. Sometimes I see a thin line around the top of the enclosures what medium is that?
One last question, I see people using a small medium for the water and some red liquid, then turned it upside down, how do you make that, that's ingenious.
Regards
Jeff

Welcome.
You are probably seeing something called Fluon. It's commonly used by entomologists to keep insects contained. The liquid feeders you are seeing are probably feeders made by byFormica (http://www.amazon.co...k/dp/B016TPTGIQ). The red liquid is most likely hummingbird nectar, which is basically just sugar water with preservatives.
