Hi! I'm Mikael from Sweden. New to this forum. 

 

I have a general question about Messor ants. 

I'm currently looking into starting a Messor colony in a ytong formicarium setup. As I understand, the Messor ant can be quite good at chewing through materials like ytong. 

 

- What messor species would tend to do this the least? For example messor barbarus vs messor orientalis? 

- Would coating the ytong tunnels in a thin clay layer help prevent this? 

 

 

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! 

 

Sincerely,
