The only ants I saw in Maui

Here is a shot of the only ants I saw while in Maui. I didn't do a whole lot of searching, but the little searching I did do, I only found this species at Black Sand Beach in Maui.

Re: Adding substrate

It isn't a requirement, but I would add some sand and/or very small wood chips/bark. It allows the ants to do a little design work on the nest for themselves. They will block off areas, plug air holes, minimize entrance size, etc.

Re: A Queen? Melbourne - Australia

Many species fly a day or so after rain storms. Any rain in the forecast?

Re: A Queen? Melbourne - Australia

My guess is that it is not a queen, due mainly to the size of the thorax.

Re: 3d printing ant nest?

Yes the Hybrid Nests are 3D printed. They were all designed by AntsCanada staff and are printed in our manufacturing facility. I suspect your library will at a minimum charge you for the use of the plastic filament right? Do you know if there is someone there who will help you get your model printed...

Re: New "All You Need" Starter Gear Packs available

Thank you. Will they be packed in one box or two? Sorry, need to know exactly how many boxes and size. Well, we try to consolidate everything ordered into one box. So if you order one "All You Need" gear pack, it would all be in one box. If you ordered two of them, we would do our best to put them ...
