thanks alot man!got my fingers crossedAwesome stuff, and great pics man! I hope you get a nice big colony started soon.
to my knowledge i dont think anyone has ever bred ants in captivity.correct me if im wong but i dont think its possible.WOW so they were mating at ground level? Does this mean that it maybe possible to breed certain ant species in captivity without artifical enseminations?
nope, they meet up in the air and fall down thats all, the key thing is they need to fly really high which make it impossible to breed in captivity. Very few species can breed on the ground, thats because they are usually queenless species, wingless queen or have evolve breeding inside nest (argentina ants).WOW so they were mating at ground level?
