No that's me. ;)
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

Haha, sorry my bad. Anyway, I just wanted to ask how you record your ants. If you have to deal with a whole setup, do you move them to a ideal condition for lighting?

Do you just use your phone, or have you bought a separate camera and mic?

Easy. If it's a short video, I recorded it with my phone. If it's a long video, it's most likely a setup via OBS and multiple webcams and cameras. I got one USB mikroscope with a build in lighting that I don't even need to turn on very brightly. I connect everything to a PC and just record. When it's dark I turn on some small LED book lights with a **** build in battery. Those are for the other cameras without light.
It's been a while and I have moved since my last streams. I might need to start streaming again at some point. ^^

Alright thanks for the info, I might need to invest in a light source for good lighting.

Doesn't have to be super light. A little light from some LEDs might do already. Also keeps costs low.

Queen Pseudoneoponera Ms. Antenna two:

She is doing really well and man is that larvae big, I knew it was going to get that big and even will grow bigger, but just seeing it. Biggest ant larvae I've seen, she also has a younger larvae and one egg, so looks pretty good.

Do remember that larvae of Pseudoneoponera need substrate to spin cocoons.

Thanks for the notice, however she does have substrate in her out world, will she go and grab that or do I need to insert substrate into the test tube?
