Only thing I know for sure is that I want a species that:
Has a queen
Different sized ants with different roles (castes?)
Can cooporate to take down larger prey
Doesnt hibernate.
-----
The hibernation is important since I have no way of solving that. The ants so far that Ive found interesting are:
Pheidologeton diversus - Seems to be the perfect ant for me but is maybe to hard to keep as first ant?
Messor barbarus - Needs to hibernate?
Camponotus substitutus - Seems interesting too but havent researched much about them.
Are there any more ants that fit my list better?
----
I was thinking to get a pre-built antfarm here but dont know which one to get.
I was thinking about:
Acryl Ant Display 40x2x30 cms - wall -> As nest
Acryl Ant Box 20x12,5x5,5 -> As foodbox
But this may vary on the species I wish to keep? Also, I understand that the Ant Display is too small to keep a nest in.
I have many questions! Hope for some answers
Regards
Richard
