I was devouring what I felt was the sweetest cantaloupe I have EVER tasted in my life and I just had to share some with the ants. It was a hit with all the ants, and the Tetramorium ants, currently my most active ants in hibernation were just too neat to not film. So here they are eating a piece of cantaloupe. To hear the audio, play with the slider a bit (temporary YouTube glitch)...

The funny thing about this video is if you watch a single ant they kind of pull back as if they have brain freeze! Hahaha! They're currently hibernating at around 15 C.

This video is a timelapse video. They are hibernating so are much slower in real time.

Hi,
I would like to ask you a question. One of my Tetramorium colony is probably T. sp E ( coming from southern Europe in an area where T.sp E is present and because it is clearly bigger than T. caespitum or T.sp F ) and as in North America it is almost certainly T.sp E can you please try to see if they are as found of seeds as my colony is and if the general behavior is the same.
I am looking for confirmation because of the difference in behaviour and the specie identification in Tetramorium of the caespitum group is largely impossible to me.
