Hi all,
Big AC fan and wanted a little help.
I had thought about keeping ants as I always see very small queens flying around my area. I thought one day I would catch one and start a colony. Then I happened to come across 4 of these. I got so excited as they are much bigger than anything I had seen.
I picked them up and they are currently all in test tube set ups. Can anyone identify them for me? I thought once I know what they are I woild know how to properly care for them and not be such a newbie.
They were caught late september in Adelaide Australia and are roughly 20mm. Any advice would be muchly appreciated.
Thank you AC world.
