Hello Everyone,
My name is Jesse - I am a biologist by trade currently working out of LA.
I have been interested in invertebrates my whole life, and kept a variety of things in captivity over the past 15 years or so - tarantulas, scorpions, millipedes, centipedes, beetles, etc. Although most of my invertebrates are of the dead variety - pinned or ethanol preserved.
Over the past 3 years I have slowly branched out into Hymenoptera, and have been learning what I can about ants.
In all honesty, I was just looking for some ant websites to broaden my knowledge and stumbled upon this forum. I had no idea there was quite such a developed hobby on ant keeping!
Anyhow, I look forward to discussing ants and learning from the members of this forum, and you never know ............maybe actually keeping some ants someday.
