Sphecomyrmex: Can i put myrmica in gympsus nests? (8. Nov 2008 13:20)

Hi all,

Could i put myrmica rubra or ruginodis into gypsum nests? Can they pierce the gypsum?

Thanks

Normally they can not dig trough the gypsum. But they like there nest moist. And gypsum is not a good material for that. I would consider a y-tong nest in stead.
