Re: Need Help
I did some research on this species after reading this post, and I found that it is actually a very interesting species (fully claustral incase you didn't know)! They make long foraging trails that last a long time and also they're very aggressive, spraying a noxious pheromone when aggravated, and the smallest disturbance to them or their nest can aggravate them. For the formicarium, I would suggest a natural setup with lots of rocks and stuff to make nests under(I've linked a video on how to do this below). For feeding, they are omnivorous and not picky about what they find. I hope this helps, and good luck taking care of this species.
Here's where I got the information: https://www.antwiki.org/wiki/Liometopum_apiculatum
