I think the ants generally prefer aphids without wings. I also farm mealybugs and some schoolkids were confused when I started putting them in a container like... they have no idea what a mealybug is. I should give them a lecture on biology... but I doubt they will listenSolenopsisKeeper wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 8:20 amAnt quick!

Why doesn't a queen ant have wings? What is a mealybug? Does it serve as a good meal? Am I being stupid? - Children 2030SolenopsisKeeper wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 6:41 pmWhat is a scale bug?
