bryguy97: Amblyopone pallipes (24. Mär 2010 21:35)

I know that most people probably never have kept these species, but in case anyone has, dose anyone know how to keep these species? Thanks for any help you can give.

Well, I never kept them but they look like easy to keep. I think they should be fed with insects mostly, maybe even living ones and many of them. But should be able to eat smaller food, too.
Should be interesting I think. I´m not completley sure if they can eat liquid but you maybe should try it.
Some information you maybe already red: http://www.antweb.org/description.do?rank=species&name=pallipes&genus=amblyopone&project=missouriants

If you have a single queen she will not feed unless you give her a small drop of this solution:

1 part water
1 part honey
1 part egg yolk, half cooked.

try it. it should be a creamy canary yellow color when mixed.
