help needed

[CGORDON]

Hi,

Wondering if you can help me. I am looking to set up a new exhibit at a collection I work for. It will be themed around Madagascar. So i am ideally looking for an interesting 'showy' species of ant from Madagascar or at least South East Africa that is be available in the UK.

My searches are throwing me blanks so thought I'd see if you could advise anything.

Kind Regards,

Connor

When would the exhibit be? As in what is your timeframe for setting up a possible colony?

That site should be helpful... (which literally took typing 2 words into Google I will let you guess which)

That's so great of you, I almost didn't think of that, the only problem that brings up, is it doesn't really give me any information or help me narrow down to a suitable display species. thanks though.

Got a few months to set the exhibit up currently.

Lol, meant no disrespect. But that gives you an overview of indigenous spieces. They have their own characteristics. Carpenter ants are the largest and thus easiest to see, but they develop very slowly. So unless you can get a developed colony, they might not be suitable.

At work right now, will try to help you out more tomorrow
