Re: Armstrong Bird Grubs as food for ants?
I got some dried bird grubs for super cheap and I was wondering if it was possible to use them to feed ants. They don't seem to have any additional ingredients. I think its these ones. https://www.petsmart.ca/bird/food-and-treats/wild-bird-food/armstrong-bird-grubs-black-soldier-fly-larvae---500g-5...

Re: Armstrong Bird Grubs as food for ants?
I doupt they would eat it, ants don't usually like dried up insects. I much prefer keeping a culture of feeder insects, much like livestock. If you don't want to do that, then you can give them protein jelly or protein liquid.

Re: Another! My queen ant journal
Maybe, but better images would help a lot. I think i might just wait till the nanitics arrive and id her then because i don't think i would get any better picture and i don't want to stress her too much Sounds good. I think you could assume Tetramorium . How do Tetramorium look over there? Because ...

Re: Another! My queen ant journal
She looks like Pheidole to me, could you get some more angles perhaps? She does not look like any Tetramorium I've ever seen.

Re: Welcome back to the Camponotus Crew! (New topic, old one got too long)
Well now I put a sheild on their nest because I moved their locations. At a certain time of the day, the sun shines right on them, so it is neccessary to sheild them from that. But they are already used to the light anyway.

Damm this is old. Yeah, likely just a left over from a dragon fly.JaydenScheepers wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 8:43 pmhttps://imgur.com/gallery/lt1alnW
I found this big insect wing, I estimate it at about 4-5 cm in length. Might it be the evidence of a wandering Dinomyrmex dealate?
