Formica Fusca

Hi there.
Formica fusca is one of the few large types of ants here in the UK. I have recently become amazed by the idea of keeping them. I was just wondering, could anyone tell me anything about keeping them (diet, housing, difficulty e.g). This would be helpful, if you would be willing to tell me. Also, nuptual flight or even a place to buy them would be appreciated.
Thanks, ANTphibian.

wrong section for your post. This section is for everything that should not include ants discussion.

That's not true we discuss everything here mostly ants even though there are other sections for your question but I wouldn't turn anyone down or anything :|
Let us remember that even though ants are wonderful creatures, even more magnificent is their creator 😌

This section is meant for things not related to ants. Putting your topics in the right section keeps forums organized and information easier to access.

They can be housed in a dirt less formicarium, sold on AntsCanada.com, or just a container filled with dirt.They are relatively easy to keep, and need to be fed insects and sugary foods, like most other ants. Their nuptial flights happen in June-August, according the owner of Formiculture.com.

I have journals and problems on this forum and no one has ever told me this.
