The AntsCanada Ant Forum's

Hi, I've just created a Discord server about ants. :D And I do wish that ant-keepers like me and many of you would find that very helpful at times when our pet ant colony is experiencing a crisis (you know how that feels!) :cry: .

They're doing quite well and have been growing at a VERY steady rate as their birth to death ratio is probably just above 0.

Hello, I’ve started raising a campunotus irritans colony a few weeks ago. When I got it from the seller, it already has 12 members. Just yesterday,I found 2 ants dead. I don’t see any physical damage on them. I’m not sure how they died but I’m suspecting it old age. Just to confirm that it’s old age...

Thx

I got mine a month after I ordered it. Well, at least it’s here.

I don’t see any photos

I’m trying to buy a Camputonus Irritans colony. The seller claims that you can see what the ants eat through their abdomen. Is this true?
