hi,
brings back memories of how i first got into ants,-about 10 yrs ago a queen ant landed near me at a water park in Crete.With interest i got it and put it in a coffee jar and fetched it unaware of any laws back to the U.K.I then put it in an interplay antworld and ended up with a small colony,which died after about 1year because of my inexperience.The ants looked just like lasius nigers even tho it was from Crete.Interest awoken,i then resorted to catching queens for the next 8 summers and got very little success getting the workers hatched,but managed to get a few colony's going and then found antstore and doing well with the colony's i have bought.
