Lasius Hybrid Nest.

I ordered a Lasius Hybrid Nest and received it a few months back and it came in a dark brown colour and the mesh for the hydration was really poorly stuck on and hung off a little, I wasn't really bothered about the mesh, I just reattached it with more silicon. I was however pretty annoyed with the colour that it came in, it's supposed to be a bright colour to really show off the ants and make them stand out. That's how it wasn't displayed, why didn't I receive that?

Sorry about the mesh issue. We usually get those stuck on pretty well. I wonder what happened on that?? Glad you were able to resolve it with a little silicone. Regarding the color, we initially used a pearl white color, but we soon discovered that it would show brownish/orangish water stains around the water basin, so we went with a brown colored plastic instead. About a year ago, our supplier of the brown plastic ran out and was unable to get more. We temporarily went with a little bit darker brown colored plastic, but like I say that was a year or so ago.

The brown you have does not match the brown displayed on the web site??

No, I have a dark brown with no lightness to it what so ever. A friend of mine got a lighter one than me so I was quite confused but oh well, what can I do.
