Some of them prices are rather high.

They truly are a good device to use, although depending on what species you have, I advise using a fine steel mesh rather than a cloth, these girls chewed strait through it.

It doesn't really take too long to round them up really, I just use one of these. Get them all in there, then just tip them back in, although a couple do tend to get squashed as I put the lid back on, but normally only 2 or 3. Kyle

How many winged females and/or males are your colony producing Kyle, as it is a good sign they are doing well in your set up? It is a bit hard to tell, but I'd say at least 150, but most of what I see is just a glimpse of their wings, and trying to tell the difference between males and females is not easy without a good side on view or a view of their head.

No matter how good a lid is, at some point you will have to take it off, if only I could get the chance to apply more Vaseline. Now the reason for the swarming comes apparent, I wouldn't mind, but this really is the wrong time of year to produce so many alates. Kyle

It is indeed, normally I give them either honey or sugar water every other day, although they do seem to prefer honey water lately.

They look wonderful, hope they do well for you, as I've never seen anyone keep these before.

I've had my Acromyrmex octospinosus since January 2009, and after a bit of a bumpy beginning and a few other problems, they are now well and truly thriving with well over 5000 worker and still growing quickly.

Just testing the cameras time lapse function, I just have to find a way of making the battery last longer.

Longer nights I enjoy, other than that I only look forward to Spring coming back around.
