[QUOTE="Hypoponera, post: 168555, member: 1001"] Don't dream too long! Get started on that farm today. Obviously you will want to start a bit smaller then an entire wall. Where are you located? Unfortunately you probably missed the mating flights if you live in the US. But you can start researching available species in your area and find when they may fly next year. Then start planning on your first formicaria. Hydro-stone is a type of "plaster of Paris". It usually comes in a 50lb bag. You mix it with water and pour it into a mold. Check out the link that Yen posted. It has good information about using the material. Hydro-Stone retains moisture and resists mold/mildew better then "regular" plaster of Paris or hydrocal. [/QUOTE]
