Nice pics! What setup are they in?

[Wamdar]

 

Many setups presently: petri dish nest, sand/dirt, test tube and ytong

Are those eggs sitting on Hydrostone?

[Wamdar]

yea, some have sand some just stone..why? will they get dried out from the stone?

[dspdrew]

I was just wondering because every time I put honeypot ants on pure Hydrostone, their eggs seem like they're melting. It hasn't happened though, when there is dirt on top of the Hydrostone. It's probably just a coincidence, and that is what I'm trying to find out.

I felt the same way about the one I put in the ytong nest, they weren't shinny and plump. This one is sealed more and probably more humid, maybe that has something to do with it.

Mmmm, looks like gummy worms.

[Wamdar]

They're organic, sugar free gummy worms

Great photos

What kind of camera do you use?

Thanks!  Canon 5D III, 65mmMPE and a high powered flashlight

I couldn't see any larvae in mine yet.  Though they have pretty healthy piles of eggs! Weird because it's hot in my house, it was 85F at 9pm the other day.

[dspdrew]

Yeah, but they're full-of cholesterol.

Heh, I guess all you need is a fancy camera and great lighting to make anything look appetizing.

Actually, I'd like to see a new candy pitched to a candy manufacturer—"Grubs"—chewy on the outside with a tart, liquid center—kind of like "Gushers."

Maybe you should launch a honeypot flavor ant feed.

"grubs" I like it! don't forget "sour grubs" and "red hot grubs". All with different organ juice flavors!

 

Enjoy the wormy texture as their guts explode in your mouth!

That 65mmMPE is a serious hardcore macro lens. Full on PRO!

MP20mm First shots, going to need a lot of practice!
