Re: Brood process of Dorymyrmex Insanus
I have a Dorymyrmex Insanus queen, when I received her I put in the test tube a drop of honey-water, and instantly put a red cellophane around the test tube, and put it in my night table.

Re: Tetramorium ant diet questions
Update: I gave both colonies new AntsCanada equipment and 1 part sugar, three parts water sugarwater test tubes. Hopefully they will have more luck at producing workers than the old tubes.
