Hi and hope everyone is well
I am new to ant keeping and have one Lasus niger queen with a few eggs in a test tube set up so fingers crossed.
Got into ant keeping after watching many of the fantastic AntsCanada videos on you tube.
Mikey bustos is a legend.

Hello from Central sweden!
I agree he is!
Good luck with the queen! But how can you be sure its a Lasius niger if you just got into anting? Have you posted a pic on the ID center?

Hi, I bought a few bits of equipment online and with my purchase I got to choose a free queen ant, I read that Lasus niger is the perfect beginner ant so that's what I chose.

It was from ant kit uk. I would never purchase an ant from another country due to the eco system so that's why I chose Lasus niger and any future ants I would purchase would be ants native to the uk.
