The AntsCanada Ant Forum's

Hello guys, I live in the Netherlands and want to keep a colony when I move out of my parents house. I found that the most general ant found here is from the Lasius Niger. However I have a lot of trouble to find information about them. Preferably I would like to have done all my research before I start. I hope someone can patch me up on the characteristics of a Lasius Niger colony. Thanks for checking.

Hey

As far as i understand "The black knights" are a Lasius niger colleny, so you could start with the videos of them in the AntsCanada chanal on youtube.
I'm new as well and hope to catch a queen this summer, if you want to bye a ants (if you fail to catch a queen) check out the GAN project there is a GAN farmer in the nether lands so your in luck

Go Here to look at the GAN projeckt (witch is cool )

Go To "Filter By Country"
Look For Country
Find State/County

PS. there is a strict no bye, sell or trade of ants on this forum

No The Black Knights are a black crazy ant colony (Paratrechina Longicornis) You can tell since they are slimmer and darker than Lasius Niger ants.

If you want me to I can gladly share the information I have gathered keeping 4 different Lasius Niger colonies in total. Ask me thr questions you have and I'll answer and link you to some sites that I think are good.
