How to transport ants from jar with dirt into formicarium
Hi, I have recently captured a colony of Phediole ants from a pot in my backyard. I put them into a jar with dirt and then ordered a formicarium that arrives by the end of the week. How can I transport the ants into the formicarium without getting much dirt in and also without harming the ants?

Hi! I think you should put the formicarium into a big plastic tub. Then tip the whole jar of dirt into the tub, next to the formicarium. Hopefully, the ants will then move into it.
