Re: Any Gan Farmers in Brooklyn NY

Re: Carpenter ant queen in test tube.

Carpenter ants are the kind i am looking forward to keeping. I also am thinking of filming the ants as they build their colony. But first I need to find a place to live that will allow me to keep ants.

Ant formicarium live videos?

Is it possible to post formicarium live videos of people's formicariums on this forum as the ant colonies develop? Alternatively does anyone know of any good sites with ant formicarium live videos? Cause I have been having a time finding any.

I want to make a PC game that stars ants in a 3d environment with almost a sims-like atmosphere to customizing a formicarium and a bunch of ant species to choose from.
