They are commonly known as grease ants, because they like greasy foods. I have a large colony, and they love butter. They will eat almost any insect. You can keep them in a single test tube for quite a while, as they are very, very tiny. They are also polygynous, so you can build colonies out of as many queens as you can find. My colony has around 60. When they have nuptial flights, their queens are everywhere, so you can catch a lot in a single sitting.
"God made every kind of wild beasts and every kind of livestock and every kind of creeping things;" (including ants) "and God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:25
