Bruh who knew they liked ice cream! I gave them some vanilla flavoured ice cream and it was cold so they didn't eat it. After a while I came back and saw like 5 ants eating it
Just like the movie Elf. Usually if you are wondering if ants will like a food ask the question, "Does _____ have sugar in it? Then YES"

Sounds good for most colony but dude my ants are like the opposite of ants. They literally don't eat sugar!! LITERAL SUGAR!! Why are they so picky they don't like banana, apple sugar(how) but any insect is their favorite. How can an ANT not like SUGAR?? :?: :?: :|
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

There are some species that are carnivorous and will ignore sugar but this behaviour in Camponotus is strange.🤨

One more ant is dying :cry: the worker are 32 with alot of brood. The queen doesn't seem to stop laying eggs as I saw another batch of young larvae. Gave them a small mosquito and they took it. I also gave them honey which they ate. I took a photo of them and its now my profile pic :D

Yup, they are as cute as they are scary. Wiki says these girls are very aggressive and they are starting to show the aggression. Everytime I place anything in their outworld they attack it by biting and spraying acid and even stridulating. They stand on 4 legs with jaws wide open and quickly strike the ground. Its too loud that I can hear it from far away!! Its gonna be real fun keeping these ants when they are in large number :twisted:

That is so cool! My Campanotus would do similar things, but it sounds like yours are crazy! I just love the personality you can see in large ants.
