Ant Hunt Help

Help to the newbie

The seeds if this plant are soft and fleshy, so it is possible that they are eating these. But I think that it is more likey that they are after aphids or scale insects that are living on the plant.

Hmm good ideas. Something to think about. I did have a fruit fly infestation for awhile but i think the ants ate em all up. Havent seen anything but ants floatin about since.

Lol i let those ones go. I only caught em to try and get a picture for ya but i guess my cams zoom isnt enough to be of any use. Lol i even tryed taking my microscope and making my cam look through it but the screen turned all red for some reason. Does the same thing if it point it at the monitor.

Lol i just had a dream about ants too. I kept finding all these winged ones running around. Was very strange and random.

Lol, that is how it starts, if you start dreaming of ants you definitely need to keep some.

No i think it is better if you use a more suitable farm for you ants.
Yes i heard about that, its a pity. But i'm sure you will find a queen and than you can start up you're own colony soon.
