ANTSTORE World of Ants

[Uncletommy]

Just thought id mention it but i left for unversity in September and i had my ants in a Y-tong. My mum moved them outside because she didnt want them in the house and they were forgotten about. On sunday i went home and remembered them...... turns out they went into hibernation and all woke up again! Even thought the temperatures have been minus for ages! All they had was the Y-tong to protect from the elements and they made it. Thuought id share that cos they are tough little guys!

I hope they are fine, it is hard to tell by just looking on them. You will know in a few months. Good luck.

Tough critters. Good for them!

There's a reason why it takes ages for a worker to develop, these bastards are very tough

Hi McK, I saw you keep Camponotus barbaricus. That is a fearsome looking ant! Where did you get them?

I've bought them about a year ago, they are very cool but it takes ages for a worker to develop.
At the moment there's a major pupae in the nest, I'm really curious about how they look, I bet they're very beautiful.

Hee, het is in Hollandse! Mooi photos hoor, hoe groot is de koningin? 14mm of zo? I would love to see the major when she emerges. I looked at the site you recommended . Have a look at the Camponotus nigriceps. That's a 22mm queen. Huge.

Yeah, but the price is also 'huge'

Yea, I saw that just now. Maybe they come with three wishes...
Should have said Flemish, and not Hollandse. Please excuse me, I meant no offence.

None taken

Off topic: it is in deed Flemish and we are proud of it. But we also like the people of the Netherlands so no harm done.

Also off topic: I don#t mind them either. I worked with some Dutch guys in Bosnia a quite a while ago. One guy was always telling Belgian jokes. The funny thing was, the Belgian guys in the next village would tell me exactly the same jokes about the Dutch!

Haha yes this is very funny! I am a Dutchman living in Belgium but working/studying in the Netherlands. Really very much the same jokes just with the other nationality .
