Someone at the ant ID forum was kind enough to let me know she is "Formica sp." and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to care for her later on down the road? Do they like their nests wet or dry? What kind of food do they like? Do ants feel more comfortable if you tailor their outworld to match their natural habitat? Would they be aphid tenders in the wild?
She is my first queen ever, and if she's fertilized this will be my first colony, so I'm a little nervous about caring for her. I tried googling for information on formica sp. but don't seem to be having much luck on finding how to care for them. Will the tutorials for tetramorium or camponotus on the AC channel suffice for these?
