...but if he doesn't live in the middle of a big wood or between miles of unused ....

:D
That is exactly where he lives. Tolmin is a small town with 3500 inhabitants, surrounded with hills and forests. No polluting industry, no mass farming...

@JimmyVe
off topic: Right now I live in Bratislava, but this is my "birth town". I´m planing to move back in couple of years. I love it there.

Back to my Manica rubida issues. I´ve noticed yesterday that on the dead workers a yellowish fungus-like thing is growing. So I imedietly remove them all from the nest (about 30). I figured that maybe there is too much moist in there so I covered the aqarium with a piece of cloth and not the lid. Maybe a better ventilation will stop fungus/mould from developing. I hope things work out. One of the two queens is dead and the whole colony is prety much decimated. I hope they make it.
