    I recently catch some Q Trap (maybe Odontomachus Simillimus) but all of them still have wings and I think they dont fertilized now. Can i separate them into 2 Q in 1 setup tub and tube (wanna one queen dominant and the other serve she like worker) to reproduce Drone and make it mate with other pair? (Example 8 Q Trap divide into 4 setup > wanna them lay egg > hatch into drone). Can i do like this with that species Or just one Q in setup (8 setup for 8 Q)? Hope I can hear from you soon, buddy! 🥰

    In tubs and tubes setup, how to prevent food from getting mold in the tube?

    • @Dcolony
      @Dcolony  3 роки тому

      Most of the Queen's take out their left over from the tube, but sometimes their lazy to take it out, maybe. If you have the space and could take it out by using tweezers or a stick, that would be great. But when there's no chance just let her decide when to take it out. Just offer a fresh testube in the tub and wait for the emigration, you can slightly reveal her to make her uncomfortable and to speed up the process of transfer.

      There's no answer that applies to all. Different ant species got different life span buddy it's about 2 - 20 years in average, species that goes through hibernation will live longer, and believed to live for up to 30 years.

      It depends on the ant specie buddy, larger size ants normally takes longer than the tiny ones, but if your asking for this specific specie on the video, they take about 30+ days from larvae to pupa.
