Adding wild workers to my argentine colony
I have a colony that I think is argentine with 6 workers and a few eggs. I heard that argentine ants from different colonies don't fight so i was wondering if i could add wild workers to their colony.

You Could, But There Have Been Cases Where They Do Fight - Though That Only Occurs At A Small Percentage Rate.

Try with 1 or 2, then add more from the same area if they don't fight. Is there a queen?

Yes hey have a queen but today I coincidentally fought a argentine queen walking along an ant trail and I noticed that she and a couple workers I caught were larger than the ones in my colony so I think the first colony might not be argentine.CreeperUniverse wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2017 8:33 amTry with 1 or 2, then add more from the same area if they don't fight.
