You may be wondering how the fly is not escaping? Well, I have superglued it's wings together, it's a trick I learnt when I was making that movie 'The Fly' with Jim Goldbum.

Of course I am talking total rubbish, a few days ago I cut a peice of acrylic just the right size for the inner wall of the arena. Just to make sure that I don't have any more escapes.

Day 8.

To my delight I have found some remians of the fly I introduced yesterday, I really wasn't sure if they would attack it but it seems that they have. It was just a shame that I missed the show.

I'm not sure that it's good that they are using the Y-Tong as a bin though

Day 10.

Nothing much really happened yesterday (Day 9) and I was quite busy working so I didn't get much time to check on them.

There has been a bit of motion (that I have observed) today with a few workers wondering about and drinking some honey water, all the eggs seem to ok so hopefuly at some point they may hatch out in to more ants.

Nice ants Elliot.

Do you keep them in y-tong?
