cre0broter Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 i remember having one of those gel colony things and I caught a black ant queen outside and tried to start a colony, she laid a few eggs that never hatched and she eventually died Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ometeo Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Sara, have you transferred them to a larger container? Also, is that the fungus they cultivate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Clausen Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Nice photo, Sara! Here is a photo of a trail worn through the grass by Atta mexicana, in my parents' yard in Mexico. It's not uncommon to find a small tree or bush completely defoliated overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Awesome ants! Makes me wish I had managed to catch some of the Acromyrmex versicolor that are native here this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Clausen Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I imagine they could do it in a single night without much trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
