I am using an injection as their home... Hope it works... I did it by pulling out the needle and the thingy which is used to push the medicine in.. Put a plastic down the where the needle was so the water dosen't leak out..

How can you tell if the queen has been mated when you catch her flying around, wings still attached?

I had a queen Iridomyrmex cf bicknelli Ant setup shop under a beanie on my desk a couple of weeks ago. I had noticed that there were quite a few ants crawling around my desk in the days prior but thought they were coming through my window. It was only after I picked up my beanie that I saw the thousands of ants under it with heaps of eggs and larvae and what I think was the queen because it was much bigger than the rest and instantly darted away and hid while the workers didn't move at all. It was weird.

What if u do them in like a box with sand so it’s more natural is that good too?

@amusingkiwi9586 3 года назад

Test tube setups are the best option in my opinion, also depending on the sand u use could result in the queen not being able to dig a chamber to lay her brood

Does anyone have any experience with notostigma foreli, I've recently paid for a queen but I can't find much information on them other then they are nocturnal and nest in the ground in rainforest areas.

How to get some worker ants into your house: 🏠 🐜 1. Get food (any kind of food) 2. Crumble up the food into crumbs. 3. Wait for some hours.(minutes,seconds or days.) 4. Watch the ants come into your house! 🏠 🐜 How to make them a home: 1. Get a plastic bottle,scissors,hot glue,and sand/dirt! 2. Cut the bottle in half with the scissors. ✂️ 3. Make sure your phome lets air through it. 4. Cut the phome into a circle. 5. Use the extra part for a rectangle. 6. Hot glue the rectangle onto the circle. 7. While the hot glue dries,Fill the bottle up with your sand/dirt. (Fill it up halfway!) 8. Put the ants you found into the bottle of sand/dirt. 9. Put the phome cap on. 10. Watch your colony grow!

where do you go to catch queens?

@2ndchanceinlife 2 года назад

I caught a bullant carrying a dead cockroach. I didnt have macro lens at the time, and I didnt know what a queen bullant looked like. So I let her go, and when I came home see the pic properly on my phone, I think it looks like a queen when compared to youtube bullant queens I felt extremely disappointed in myself. The same day I caught the green metallic queen ant. She popped a few eggs and after 2 weeks of keeping her and feeding her earthworms for protein, I let her go because I thought I wasnt giving her enough care as my hobby was focused on something else. Now I wish I kept her.

Hey umm i have a question. So i live in the philippines which is a tropical region and the best part is I go in the province which is great i think...but the problem is i dont really know that when too look because i do not get the proper information even on goggle..so can i ask what are the nuptial flights schedules and im ok with any species but if i were to choose 1,I want to get the information of camponotus.if u dont find any information,then its ok cause the climate change and its my problem.hope to grow your channel.

Hi MR bengut, I don’t personally have experience with the Camponotus species of the tropics, I shall ask the other members of TALA and get back to you. (Jamie)

@josephprosser7414 3 года назад

I see videos of people catching queens in their town/city on pavement or grass but I don’t often ever find any ant nests in the town should I still be looking there?

@chicken5761 3 года назад

sure! Sometimes you are just searching on the wrong day :) stay persistent! I thought I wouldn’t find any last year, after searching for a few days in a row, but ended up catching over 15 in one day! Ants are everywhere, sometimes you just can’t see them, but sure, if there are places with more ants you can search there instead!
