============
I'm trying with keeping a new colony of Paraponera clavata.
I know thy like it damp and warm and for now queens only in a small foraging arena

But I know I knead way bigger at some point, Maybe.

As I knead to keep colony small as I read that if colony get large thy can turn aggressive which I don't want [-X

Heres pic of queen.
