Parasites in wild insects?
Is there any wild insects which are safe to feed to ants?

Re: Parasites in wild insects?
If you give wild food a good freeze, that is generally enough to kill any parasites they might have. That just leaves the danger of pesticide exposure.
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.
