I don't think ants had a nuptial flight yesterday as i couldn't find a single dead male ant. The p. Parva colony in one of my pots also didn't have a nuptial flight
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

Well yogurt does have a lot of nutrients that the ants might like. Now you just have to find their favorite flavor! :lol:
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

Now come to think of it, I don't need to find their favorite flavor, as they will just eat "default" yogurt

Overwatered their nest :oops:
Also moved them into a different room with air conditioning because the current room got as hot as 45* C :!: It may slow their growth but as long as they are alive its good
