Re: Queen rescued from potted plant
I was replanting some of my flowers when I found a worker ant, thought nothing of it and continued replanting until I saw a very large ant in the roots of the plant. To my suprise, it was a queen. It was a bit of a hassle to get her into a test tube and keep my cat from inhaling her but I now have ...

Re: Hey! I'm new. Anoka, MN area.
Hello! I was watching youtube last night, specifically Live PD (youtubes version of "Cops"). 3 Hours later: I landed on ant farming? Youtube has a weird way of showing you different things. The "related videos" side area is dangerous as it sucks you in to watch many different things and eventually ...

Re: Camponotus nearcticus
I was going around my yard collecting various insects to feed the colony. One of the food items was a fly. Yet when I crushed it, I realized it was apparently pregnant. Several dozen maggots then began crawling out of the fly's body and out into the container I was keeping the corpses in.
