I heard that Tetramorium imagrans do not need to be hibernated, is this true?
Thanks!
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

I believe so, as T. Immigrans is extremely invasive. Likely depends on what they usually encounter in your setup. Cold temperatures? Warmer?

My room does not have A.C., and they have a heating cable.

They may decline in growth in winter, but still grow to an extent.

Ok thanks! I will do that, because I am exited to get a big colony!
