Re: Pharoh ants?
Any ants can be fun to keep. Also, I don't think this is true, but I believe I read somewhere that those queens only live a few months?
EDIT: I read something along the lines of: "The queens live as long as 39 weeks and can lay about 400 eggs. Workers only live up to 10 weeks."

People used to say the same thing about the lifespan of Tapinoma sessile, but after people keep them they end up living much longer.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
