Hi
I recently found a Camponotus maculatus queen and a couple of Pheidole capensis queens after their nuptial flights.
I have them in test tube setups and they have all hatched out some nanites (First workers). I have made some outworlds for them and they are all doing great and feeding on honey and small crickets.
My question: Does anyone else on these forums keep our native ants as pets (willingly, not when they invade your home )? If so, what species?
Ps: I will post some pics as soon as I can take a decent pic of these small beasts.
