G'day,

I'd suggest a Formica, or maybe even a Lasius. Shouldn't make too much of a difference.

Hey all,

How do I get rid of water vapour on the glass of my formicarium? It clouds the glass as well. There are currently no ants inside it, but will come soon. Any ideas?

My colony has 23 workers now confirmed.

Have you started feeding them yet?

Post some photos! This seems interesting.

What camera/phone do you use to take your photos? They're nice!

All known species of ants in Java can be found here: http://antmaps.org/?

Just find Java on the globe (unfortunately you cannot choose between East, Central, etc)

Keep them in a test tube or whatever SMALL container you have. It is only appropriate to move them in after they have more than 20 workers.

Hm, maybe you should change the setup. Mould is pretty dangerous, so that has to be dealt with.

Strange.

The lifespan of an ant goes from around 2 months to a year, depending on the species. Post a pic about the deformity.
