Re: Lasius cliviger
Lasius claviger are a parasitic species, meaning the queens invade another Lasius colony, kill their queen, and trick the workers into thinking she is their queen. Then she lays eggs and the host workers care for them to adulthood. The host workers eventually die out, leaving the Lasius claviger workers behind, and a Lasius claviger colony is born. This is not good beginner species.Healthylolfun wrote: ↑Wed Oct 24, 2018 11:37 amI want a lasius cliviger colony because they are in neptual flight but want tips cause the last thing i want is to dig up founding chambers.

As far as test tube substitute the next best thing are water picks/floral picks that you can buy from flower shops.
Keeping:
