The temps have dropped to about 17c and strangely at night the ants are even more active then they ever have been. Perhaps they have been suddenly suprised by the sudden drop in temps and need to take action for rediness for the winter break? I feel sorry for them as near by are my heated exotic ants enjoying the warmth..

Hmmm 3582 views and only 4 people have commented on this thread makes me wonder if i'm just taking up valuable forum space on a species thats been written about way tooo often... :cry: I must admit that when there is such a brilliant thread written by Erne and of course what i consider as "the Messor Barbarus bible" http://ameiseninfos.de/html/messor_barbarus.html perhaps i should just stop floggin a dead horse...

My Messor e rectus arrived today, not had a good look at them yet as I want them to de-stress after the move. But it looks like there is about 20 workers plus brood awesome.
