My husband and I found a young queen ant under a piece of wood while out for a walk last week, and spent the weekend building a formicarium for her and her brood. It is plaster in a wooden frame with a thick plexiglas front. We probably should have built in more chambers, but it will do for now.
She has 2 workers so far and a small pile of eggs and cocoons. We think they are Florida carpenter ants.
Hopefully soon I can get some better pics with a real camera! We're trying not to disturb them while they settle in.
