Wait you really meant it? :)

You're the best Get out of here haha!

It's my birthday guys where's my free stuff? :clap:

Ok guys so I misplaced my camera again so deal with these webcam photos ha! Solenopsis invicta had their nuptial flight today after a rain last night and my driveway is crawling with queens. I just plucked most of them off my car. I currently have 8. I caught 19 but I let half of them go...

I gave it a couple grass seeds and it has laid another clutch of eggs. Awesome Atta's btw!!!

This hobby can be a real drag sometimes... This is the same queen I posted a month ago. Still the same 4 clutch of eggs. No more, no less. No larvae or anything yet.

I'm guessing this means you found a termite vendor. Care to share? ;)

The harvester ant in the pic is actually a Messor pergandei. Not M. barbarus, those are European. This queen was found in Texas.

You make them, there are a lot of guides and tutorials online and on youtube.

Sorry for the quality, I need to buy new rechargable batteries for my camera as my old ones burned out. Here is a crappy webcam picture of a harvester ant queen with her tiny clutch of eggs between her jaws.

AHA! It was from you! Just kidding haha. Well I'll be contributing to this thread soon also.

I'm also wondering where the Harpegnathos came from.

Thanks Haha no just kidding just kidding :shifty:

Nice, I might have to buy some setups from China then. The ones here sell from $35-$80 for those simple setup. I had S. invicta fire ant species when I was in TX.. But I had to let them out because I was moving. That place was already infested with fire ants anyways so... Had them in a CD case...

Ok cool, I'm going to keep them by the book but I also I really want to have a separate tank with a couple of Idolos in it so I can crack down a couple of myths and see if I can't make it a little easier to keep these guys. Roaches have been used to feed many things without usually causing any...

I just wanted to say that most of these have been successfully kept in screen cages and or anything else that can help Idolo's to the top of the cage. I've kept unicorn mantids before and I'm pretty sure you would agree with me on saying that they usually stick to their little spot at the top of...

Cool I haven't been here in years and the last time I was on, keeping Idolomantis diabolicas were only a dream now I see some on the classifieds for reasonable prices and a whole thread dedicated on their care. I've kept species of other critters in other hobbies known to be "difficult" that...

You sir, ARE A GENIUS! I will have to try this out soon. In the way this economy is going. I'm down to try this out.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but... HONEY. 100% pure honey works well as a safe anti-fungal/mold agent.

I used to keep Polistes paper wasps a couple years back. They're really intelligent, they begin to recognize your hand as a food provider and will learn to not attack it. The wasp population in my area is declining though, sucks. Bad for me, good for everyone else.
