Since i work for a newspaper since 1st of april, i had a little conversation with one of our photographs and i´m planning to get some macro equipment for my cam in hope of getting similar pics.
Thanks make sure you do that if you can SimGee, they pictures are in deed much better with a good equipment. The only downside is that the camera and lens are expensive.
It all is normally on shelf and there are lamp for these colonies with arena. I get it on table only for photo (:(:(: I think ,when c.vagus young queens will have a small colonies I must build more small formicariums...I don´t know where I get it (:
I buying it normally in building store ,there are bricks and it is not cheap. The best bricks (for yours Myrmica and dead Lasius) are 60x30x8 cm of size. If you dont know what is it ,you can ask the salesman to show you.
