yes... they will eat all bugs.

But you need to cut them into pieces. Otherwise they cannot eat them, because of the thick chitin carapace.

Actually mosquitos and they larvae aren't any problem for Lasius niger. I gave them a few and they ate them without difficulty.

Best thing i figured out is the simply fly :=)

They can eat them easily and they have thick fleshy bodys :S ; )

ok thanks for the help
