I heard some info about sending Solenopsis (fire ant) from South America to Europe ,my friend also received one colony ,so I will try to ask him if he´ll be online on ICQ ;) ... looks interesting ant on photo ... maybe I´ll try some small colony :) ,later
;) yes but be ware with these ants, they are not very nice, they can sting really bad.
Still not managed to get a better picture of the antenna.
lol yeah it does hurt alot and worse is they dont just sting once like other species do they just keep stinging till you get them off you i believe lol and you will need a huge basin ;)
the first sting releases pheramones, which trigger a mass swarm from the colony, all with one purpose, sting anything and everything that moves
very dangerous ants, a friend of myne ended up in hospital for a week after he was attacked while camping once
Sorry to dampen the spirits, but Solenopsis invicta is one of the most dangerous ants to keep. I'm not even refering to possible dangers to the keeper- i'm refering to the fact that Solenopsis invicta is present all over the world, and produces costs of several hundreds of million dollars(!) in the attempt to fight them back from the invaded areas, in which only very few groundliving species of the natural population remain. If they where ever to get out, there's the possibility they will establish themselves in europe and cause the same kind of damage here. Of course chances might be slim and there are climatic differences. But it happend a lot of times before, for example with Monomorium pharaonis, with most likely no chances to ever get rid of them again- they survive by adapting to heated areas, which are plenty even in winter in industrial times.
So please guys, be smart - don't keep invasive or "incestous" species. There are lots of "cool" species around. Picking the dangerous ones won't get anything else then a shaking head from any decent antkeeper.

Skippy you wont get a small colony these grow to a big colony very very fast...
It probly isnt, but i've pmmed u a contact that you need to speak to if u suspect it is, please dont ignore this, Fire Ants in the UK would be an absolute disaster, as it has been for every country they have invaded
hmm ok skippy I dont know if i can send you it atm ok ?
ok ,kill them ... I dont like fire ants so ..... I think no only I ,but all world
-and ,if some fire ants will arrived in Slovakia ,all peoples will think about my getting it into nature ... and I dont want to pay / go to jail for some stupid Solenopsis ;)
