I have placed my order for my temnothorax nylanderi and island.

going to make a cork nest with plastic top so i can see whats going on inside. ive also brought a hollow plant shell, just incase my cork nest isnt good enuff for them.

Hey all, My order has arrived!! and well excited! just setting it all up now!

I had my L. nylanderi in formicarium like on page Hyperlinks sind nur für registrierte Nutzer sichtbar ,"formicarium for 3 zlote" but I don´t like this ant species and I get it for mpir because he like small ants. This formicarium is easy to build and you need only Tic-tac box and some ytong + cotton tampoon and arena.

heres the pictures as said. as you can see ive cut the Jecetiba in half and stuck on some plastic so i can see whats going inside the shell! going to be very good once there settled in!

[JimmyVe]

in deed they look little. Looks nice. Good luck.

ive seen the queen, she only has 1 antenee, and 2 legs on one side,ive email the ant store. is it something to worry about?

Alan

The queen may struggle to move so she will probably not move alot, but i think she will be ok.

[deadmeat30]

heres a few more pictures of my colony.

[JimmyVe]

She looks a little strange (the queen) in deed. as long if she is healthy (and laying eggs) my guess that she is going to be just fine. but i never had this with one of my queens (maybe she was in a fight after the mating time)

Looks like they where hungry. good job.

[deadmeat30]

yeah i wonder too, or maybe one of the workers got hungary . i havent seen her lay eggs yet. how often do they normally lay eggs?

Alan

[Sced]

Looking at the description, it says they can be kept with other ants? So if you put a another colony close to them will they be at peace?

[deadmeat30]

yep, i might try it with my new lasius niger colony! hey jimmy, im gonna be trying the oasis nest soon! so keep a look out!

I have formica fusca and myrmica rubra in peace @ same nest, but it's because they both are peaceful species, lasius niger is very agressive and it will probably kill all the other ants , but im not sure, these ants maybe fakes the indentity or something.. I dont know. Anyway lasius niger probably kills/tries to.
