Hey ant community
I was wondering if the lasius hybrid nest Small would work for my 150 to 200 worker black sugar ant colony. They love moisture...
Thanks for your advice in advance.

by "sugar ant" what species are you talking about? Tetramorium? Lasius? If you don't know you can post pictures and we will ID them. It should work if they are similar in size to lasius. (and they are not too terribly different in hydration preferences)
