so I have always wanted to take two sliding glass doors and glue them together filled with dirt hang it on my wall and drop in a qween ant!!!
last night I was haveing a smoke and I looked down to see in my ashtray a large carpenter ant with only 1 of her/his wings. I scooped it up and droped it in a bran new exotera 12X8 tank with a $60 piece of hole filled drift wood I had removed from my fishtank 5 monthes ago (very dry wood)
ploped in a straw berry and some terarium moss/dirt
Q#1 ????So do you think this may be a qween ant??????
I think its a ...
Camponotus herculeanus
(Boreal Carpenter Ant)
or
Formica podzolica ant
Q#2 ???if a ant has wings is it a qween????
Q#3 ???is there any legal issues with capturing/breeding/selling of ants??? <----sounds dumb
