Hello,

I'm Felipe and there is not so much time that i started to search information about ants, so I'm very new in the hobby, but i have already ordered some instruments and read some basis to start this journey, and i am very excited with this "new" world of possibilities. Here in Brazil there is very little quantity of people that is looking for this kind of hobby, so I'm very happy to find the forum and a community active.

Thanks for the shared material.

Welcome! Quite the diversity of ants in Brazil, including the infamous Paraponera clavata and recently discovered Martialis huereka in the Amazonas.

Welcome yazetta. Also, do people keep Paraponera clavata? I can't imagine I'd trust them or myself enough.

Thank you for all the welcomes. These last days i was spending a long time acknowledging the region species for know the care and their seasons of flight of them (and waiting my equipment...), for then start "my" colonies.
