Okay so I checked out my local type ants and I'm a bit exited and disappointed. Only three types of local ants (in my region), Lepisiota Capensis...this is a very small black ant that would work well and is not aggressive at all...save for my kids...they call it the black sugar ant...can have multiple queen...I remember seeing a lot of queen the last nuptial flight so chances are I might get a few of their queens...then there is the Pheidole megacephala ant...oooh what a cool ant! See them everywhere but they don't have to go in flight to multiply in colonies...so its gonna be hard...also called big headed ant. And then there is this idiot type ant that's destroying the world and apparently have spread very widely across south Africa...Linepithema Humile also known as Argentine ant...does go in queen flights at all!!! Their just multiplying ant killing other ants! But luckily the P.Megacephala ants are a big thread to them. Anyway...still waiting to see which ones fly first...P.Mega's or L.Capensis...either way...both will make a great pet. (I posted this in another thread but realized it suits this panel/place/room/thing better)
Simonstown and Cape town).
