Feeding vs Hunting.

[Antkeeper]

When is it a good time to let your colonies workers hunt live food you put in, instead off crushed insects or from the freezer, in terms of numbers? Or is it best just to continue on with pre-killing the protein so they get it and no chances of injury. Maybe they like to hunt their food?! 

There was a YouTube video on here of a Lasius niger colony hunting and taking down a large fly- anyone know if it still exists?!

There's this one by Lee  Link Dance of the dying fly  in one of his open tanks outside. Sometimes I will half kill something and let certain species tht I know,  will finish it off and enjoy the chase.

That's the one! Thanks Jenant. They look like fire ants, instead of Lasius niger in the video!
