Hehe, yeah, I love Bourne. xD Doing an analyzis of them for a class I take in College.
Right now I keep Camponotus Spec. (Probably/hopefully Camponotus herculeanus and Messor barbarus,
though rihgt now I'm mostly salvaging these since as I mentione din another thread the queen with workers arrived dead, and the water supply in all 3 testtubes has run out. So right now I'm scrambling to
get test-tubes with water for my 2 remaining queens, and trying to save as many workers as I can by adding them one by one to one of my queens.
Have kept Lasius niger in the past, though due to mysterious casualties amongst these I decided to dispose of them, in fear of them being diseased. Was only some 5 workers left alive(out of 30-40 at their healthiest point), and not sure how the queen was faring. Will hopefully be using their basin for my Messor barbarus in the future though.
