Asian Turtle ants, they are a tree dwelling species. These ants are heavily armoured by a thick rough carapace, their antennae can be recoiled into dedicated cavities preventing them to get pulled by enemy ants. Although battle ready, these ants are incredibly peaceful and do well in communal setups
On the 20th November 2018, we went to a Kindergarten to show some of our ant colonies to the younger generations!! It was our first School show and tell! All the kids were amazing!! Very attentive, enthusiastic and so well behaved, so rewarding ! Why don't you try it in your community ? Challenge π
Ooceraea biroi, one day after transfer and things are looking good. They have chosen the dry chamber over the humid one... go figure... i always thought they preferred humid conditions... this double dome nest will allow me to make some cool experiments, and who knows even a potential colony fission
