    Hi antscanada, I have a video suggestion for you.
    I was wondering about springtails and I managed to get one group(I don’t know what else to say). I would love if you make a video about the information about springtails.(what to buy, how to care, etc..)
    Thanks!

    this month, I manage to capture 3 queens. a slender ant and 2 carpenter ants. I release the slender ant outside and release the carpenter ants on my desk. The nest is somewhere in my desk.

      How about "Anotosasia"?
      In my opinion it sounds better
