I definetly advise u to wait until the nuptial flights
digging them up just kills them and u mostly never get anything out of it
U could try look around big logs and stones as some ants will nest under these.
If ur lucky u might find someone selling ants in america
I would sugest for Myrmeca rura to put some sugar water in al lid by one of there nests. then wait until the workers and queens come up to feast. Because rubras useraly have more than one queen they useraly bring 1 or 2 up to eat.
Because rubras useraly have more than one queen they useraly bring 1 or 2 up to eat.
Myrmica rubra can have more queens in one colony that is true, but they never come to eat for themselves.
What i ment was that the queens come up when there are lots of workers. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
to: ashhad1 , i was fortunate to caputer a queen western harvester when i dug her up, but not so fortunate when i tried a different nest. ill try to find a nest under rock. the bad news that in america their is federal laws prohibiting the sending of queens across border and the workers they send are western harvester, so i might as well just go outside to get them, a waste of money.
to:spore, is Myrmeca rura a native inhabiter of kansas? if not read the above. that is the only bad thing about this law, but i agree with it.
Rubra have invaded north america as an alien. But im not sure that they live in kansas or not (i don't know if kansas is in north america).
@ Andrew
well ur lucky u were successful with digging up a queen, but as u said mostly u end up killing the whole colony and getting nothing.
I didnt know that across states its also illegal to send ants, i only thought from a dif country it be illegal.
to: spore: kansas is smack dab in the middle of united states of america, so yeah in north america.
to: ashhad1: i was lucky, i keep keep one mature nest to bredd more. because of ants possibly destroying the local ecosystem.
You should know what is gypsum, right? It is not that "exotic" material like breeze blocks?? I think you guys in US call it plaster.
Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaster
okay, yeah now it sounds familiar. i am familiar with plaster, but i have never heard gypsum before, thank you.
