Koki: Messor structor journal! (29. Aug 2010 10:42)

Day 1.

I got 3 queens with 40 workers and brood. I got them in a test tube from france. There is a few majors in there. I puted a test tube in the arena wich is conected to my ytong formicarium. I gave them some seds, honey water and a grasshopper. They dont really want to leave the test tube... :(
But sooner or later they will have to because there is almost no more space in the test tube.

Tomorrow I will upload some pictures.

Hmmm...
Some ants went in formicarium and made a mess. They dropped the seeds all over the formicarium.
Does anyone know why they did that? and they have a trash basin...

Day 2

The fly that i dropped in the arena went directly in to a test tube and started panic. All of the ants and queens moved in formicarium. 3 ants died (i dont know why, but i think that it was too much stress).
