Just for fun, I have been keeping a culture of springtails bred from around 20 from my yard. Now, I have around 35-40. They eat mold, so I keep them in a small moist container with dirt and fish pellets for mold growth.
Now for my question: can I feed them to ants? A better question would be can I feed captive bred springtails from the internet to ants? Will ants eat them? I'm scared to find out.

Re: Springtails?
You could test them on a wild colony 
They should reject them if they are toxic
They should reject them if they are toxicWith all the things ants can do, you wonder, who rules the planet

Re: Springtails?
I know Ponera enjoy them. They should be okay, especially for small species.MCWren wrote:Just for fun, I have been keeping a culture of springtails bred from around 20 from my yard.
