Hey bug-lovers. A great new ant video just dropped from SyneAnts. He's just getting his channel going and the video has only 3 views. Why not stop by and say hi?
Ant keeping in NZ is kind of like "hard mode" for the hobby as the islands have only 11 native species due to the recent glacial past. It's a fascinating example of taxonomic radiation in action.

Ayer #hormigueando capturé unas reinas de Pheidole pallidula, a ver si esta vez consigo que alguna me dé una colonia grande y hambrienta.
Si alguien en #Valladolid ciudad me ayuda con alguna pistita o consejo, por ejemplo por dónde hay más posibilidades, para conseguir reinas de las #hormigas Camponotus sp., especialmente Camponotus cruentatus, Formica rufibarbis o cualquiera que vuele estas fechas, se agradece.
Mi zona de caza suele ser por la facultad de Filosofía y alrededores, por si a alguien le interesa. Ahí he visto reinas y princesas de Camponotus cruentatus, C. aethiops, Pheidole pallidula, Crematogaster auberti, Lasius grandis…

Been working on some outworlds (foraging areas) for some Pogonomyrmex ants. Made with a high heel shoe box, some custom 3D printed fittings, Ultracal 30 and some Arizona sand.
Sorry no banana for scale, but would fit inside for sure.
My Camponotus americanus queen (an uncommon species I find here during flights), has the biggest brood yet of any #Camponotus queen I've ever raised. Curious if related to the new dirt/clay nest type I've been testing, or just a queen that's a bit more prone to egg laying
They are such beautiful ants! You *almost* forget how ravenous, warlike and sneaky they are!
The queens are all about the same shade of yellow/orange— which shows they all emerged at once. As their exoskeletons harden, their color will darken. In this species the wings are almost black—very striking! I hope the next batch isn’t all males— though this colony is massive— to think there were only 8 of them years ago.

My carpenter ant colony takes up two bookshelves. They have two "outworlds" or places to find food and do ant stuff. They have three nesting spaces. (More about the setup in the alt text. )
Glass on antkeeping enclosures often has a hazy look. We use "fluon" to keep the ants from climbing out. It basically makes a powdery slippery layer near the top of the glass that ants struggle to climb. I wish I could find a solution that didn't look so messy.
FYI for ant fans in Oregon, one of the formiculture forum members has started a small ant concern selling local species and some basic supplies.
I have not shopped with them, but were they in NY I'd be interested! Out west ya'll are lucky to have so many ant shops (there are a few good ones in CA too)
