You should get those! They look so cool!
Friend has a small colony of desert species of trap jaws available for trade, which I am thinking about...
This species likes it dry so very easy to look after
colony is less than 6 months old and already this big
Odontomachus ruficeps I think
That's a fast growing colony
You had colonies of them though. Right?
nope, never had any trap jaws.
I don't see them in Sydney.
These ones were from arid Alice Springs, in Central Australia, where my Pheidole antipodum also came from.
There is another tropical species from north Queensland, which is more like the typical trap jaws that like it humid.
Where Carebara affinis can also be found
Don't know of anyone here that has a colony of affinis, still on my wish list....
A friend has seen colonies of them at her parent's farm, and briefly had two queens and a few majors, but both died, so I at least have a foot in the door
Also I know of someone who found an alate in his pool in Gold Coast, but she died shortly after, so they are out there

Oh, I meant strobe ants. Sorry I didn’t be more specific.
yeah I have one colony right now, which is going great.

Love the high quality media. What camera are you using to record these videos and take photos with?
Ant Journal: http://www.formicult...-journal/<br> My colonies: C. Semitestaceus, P. Californicus, V. Pergandei, S. Xyloni.
Love the high quality media. What camera are you using to record these videos and take photos with?
Most recent stuff is with Panasonic G85 camera with Pana Leica 45mm macro lens, with or without extension rings.
Mostly photos but some videos as well.
A few with Pixel 2 XL Phone, mostly vids.
Earlier pics in this journal are with a Sony RX100 camera with a Raynox 250 clip on macro

You get a lot of consumed brood.

Winter 21st August 2019
Camponotus suffusus bendigensis 17-18mm queen 1
20mm Test tube - heat cable
8 workers, 1 cocoon, 1 large, 1 small larvae, 4 eggs
yikes, down to 1 cocoon now....after 4 workers decided to munch on one of the two good cocoons left...
I wonder if it's because of the donated workers being slightly different from the queen's own laid eggs/brood...

Perhaps raise the cocoons yourself?
