The AntsCanada Forum

I have a Crematogaster colony, I read that they eat mostly fruits and plants, with some feeder insects.
Is this right?
Can they eat grains as well?

Thanks for all your help on this topic, as this is my first ant keeping experience.
I'll let you know if I have any other concerns.

Could use AC Outworlds with a fluion barrier?
And would some fake trees improve their comfort?

How would I house these ants if they live in trees,
I.e. Outworld, Formicarium, tubing, outworld terrain.
Pictures would be helpful.

What is the best overall setup for this genus of ants.
I.e: outworld size and terrain, tubing etc,
Pictures would be helpful.

Cool, I'll do some research on how to keep them.
Thanks for your help!

They look pretty similar to me Cremogaster http://bugguide.net/images/cache/2QD/08Q/2QD08QT0WQWKXKTK7KCKIKPKRKNKKKNK2Q10LKC0PQD00K6K2QEKGQ2KGQPKGQ30MKTKIKVKMKRSWQLSWQ30MKCK7K.jpg Tetramorium http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t297/kittyxsweet/80dcba15-3f9a-4da7-b543-9e651825c19e.jpg Are they similar...

I thought it looked a lot more like Tetramorium Sp.E, No?

Is this a queen? It's about 3-6mm in length, I found it in my driveway in Michigan. I found it 1-2 days ago, it's the end of summer here.



Thank you for your help, as I am new at ant keeping.
