ANTSTORE World of Ants

[jbc]

Yup lets hope it. But if not I can order another colony from Antstore.

If I would order Camponotus ligniperdus (again) only this time- 26-50 workers will they survive and dont die every day in a damp sand feeding area?

When will the nuptial flights begin for Camponotus in Europe?

[Lewis]

If I were you I would leave Camponotus for now an have a different species instead.
but if you do try them again try a different set-up and make sure their nest is very warm and humid.
my nest:
26C
about 70% humidity

Thanks, I have one Myrmica spec. that I caught 3 weeks ago.

My room temp is from 23 to 26 so its okay.

This is why i dont keep ants in sand or loam... or anything else.. there is too many risks... Ive lost colonies keeping them like this and I will not do it again.. When they are in just a ytong they do fine.. all they need is ytong and an outworld to forage...

[jbc]

Well now Im keeping her in a test tube where the forage tank is. The queen is healthy, but eggs have molds.

[Lewis]

that's not good those eggs are obviously dead and the reason they have mold on them is because they are probobly to damp
