@alestiiidaeno_last3075 2 года назад

It would actually be an interesting experiment to see how Queen #5 can live out as unfertilized queen in the long term. Can she survive if you keep feeding her? Will her biological clock cause her to pass? Will she stop laying eggs and allow the colony to reach critical mass?

@someguy3766 2 года назад

About colony 5 - please keep them! I think it's really interesting to see a male-only colony develop... even if they don't develop much without workers, lol. Plus I think it's nice to give this queen a chance she never would have had in the wild. Think of it as another experiment in ant-keeping. :)

These ants are well-adapted to live in and around decaying wood, whether it's dry-rotting or damp. They shouldn't have trouble with other microorganisms, such as fungus, that share their role of breaking down the material. Especially since these ants, the wood they're living in, and any such microorganisms that are showing up on their own are all native to the local ecosystem.

eww, it looks like a cross between a roach, a cricket, and a lobster hahahahah Thank you for eating it dear ants~

The prey being alive is only optimal when the colony is large. You want to see that swarming action.

That's needless cruelty. How would you like being eaten alive?

@@richardshiflett5181 how would you like to have to build your own house or kill your own food? Dont judge animals off our human standards. We can only look and say that nature has done its job.

@@richardshiflett5181 and by optimal i mean the insect will be killed faster by a large colony than a small one. And if thats cruel you better go stop those army ants in the jungle cus they commiting massive war crimes daily.
