Moths as ant food

[KvnRepublic]

Hi, I was just wondering if moths would be a good source of food for ants. I noticed that last night when I was setting up a black light trap to look for Tetramorium queens I saw many moths (no queens though ) and that got me thinking, could I potentially catch these moths for ant food. I am new to ant keeping so I am still trying to find a stable food source (have only tried meal worms so far). If moths wouldn't work then would you guys be able to suggest any readily available food source or one that I could breed.

you can breed crickets, mealworms, roaches....... its really up to you. i wouldnt feed insects from the wild though. you never know exactly where they have been or what they may be carrying.
