I got my first Lasius N . a month ago, since this 4 weeks she has around 30 pup and at least 40 eggs and 12 workers, It's unbelievable how quickly the colony is growing, and the little ones are really bad ass, aggressive when it comes to food.

[@FizzleFX]

The dates are incredible useful

[@nitrous31]

Give them food on pieces of aluminum foil, it's easier to clean.

[@antsanatomy1436]

Great idea!!

[@letsgrinditout9611]

You should have give the live fly to an colony of yours

[@dryale698]

I loved watching the colony 3 move because this is what i do with my snts just as a improvised moving method i thought of with no real experience

[@antkeeper51]

so sorry for your loss😢😭😭😭

[@victoranimacoes6538]

Hi, I'm Brazilian and I wanted tips on how to take care of Camponotus atriceps, I found one at night and I keep it in a pot with cotton (to be more exact I found 4 Camponotus), and you can leave them all separate, and I don't know what to feed them and their basic needs...

[@Antsant]

Those lasius neoniger look to be lasius americanus. A afternoon-night flying lasius sp that flies during July. Neoniger fly mid August to October

[@PronghornPunk]

that fly parasite was wild! any idea the species?

[@antsanatomy1436]

Honestly I have not a clue.

[@AntsCzech]

@@antsanatomy1436 check Antwiki for relationships with other organisms

[@eerie_genetics8459]

The species would be hard to tell because I don’t think much has been done to classify and name species. The fly was probably a type of phorid fly, tachinid or Microdon. Certain species of flies and wasps have specialized to attack certain ant species. They’re also hosts to certain fungi. I’ve had a few queens die and within a day or so, fungal fruiting bodies emerge from their bodies and extend out covering the ants in this creepy fungal fuzz. The macro world is amazing.

[@Finley-xb1ht]

I think it’s Strongygaster Globula.

[@swerv222]

This just happened to me when i checked up on my queen ant

[@sebastianiruretagoyena]

I have 70 queens and only like half are doing good

[@antsanatomy1436]

That’s why I always aim to catch more than 1. 70 is a ton!

[@Narque]

heya, I also caught 4 queens on the last flight they had here and 2 months later they are all doing well and just wanted to ask whats the best way to let the others go now they have there first workers? cheers

[@antsanatomy1436]

I’m about to make a video on that with my extra tetramorium colonies. Put them outside with the test tube enterance open for them to explore. Make sure the tube doesn’t get rained on or anything and it’s not in direct sunlight or the tube will get condensation and it will flood the tube. From my experience they will move super quick

[@Bear98183]

Queen 3 Just Looking around

[@AntsCzech]

Pretty cool. You should add more stuff in your video description, like timestamps to create video chapters.

[@antsanatomy1436]

Thanks for the tip!

[@sebastianiruretagoyena]

When are you gonna post again?

[@daffykoffee]

Put them in box not test tube because they will not increase Also atleast add holes in the cottons

[@driftingeyeball2675]

[@praytogarfield9526]
