Yup, I like ants and think they're awesome. I have a professional formicarium made from acrylic. I had a colony of Solenopsis Xyloni (the local fire ant in California) however the colony died for an unknown cause, BUT IT'S ANTING SEASON NOW THAT SPRING IS COMING!!! So I can now find a new queen out for her journey to keep. So many different species have nuptial flights in spring than any other season (nuptial flight is when the queens and drones (male ants) fly out and breed). They mostly have their flights at night so I normally go out in the dark with a light or during dusk. Does anyone else keep ants? I've spent about $300 dollars on ant supplies because I think they're so cool! I don't have a job so 300 is a lot for me. I may be able to catch some fire ant queens or but that would have to be late spring or all through summer. But I can catch many of the formicas and carpenter ants and some solenopsis.
