What I should be doing: Feeding my cats dinner and doing some evening chores.
What I'm actually doing: Watching my harvester ants bury their sugar water with sand.

I'm so excited for the ant colony I'm going to have starting today!! 💜
Keeping ants is so soothing to me, it's been too long. To me it's like maintaining a bonsai tree 😊
Does anyone want me to make updates on them or even set up a live stream for them in-between performances?

Ant with wings In a cube test tube home
Hoping this is a preggers queen to be! #antkeeping #formicarium
Somehow ant keeping videos popped up on my YouTube feed now I high-key want to try to find a queen and start my own colony. My wife is supportive but concerned someone maybe talk me down from putting ants in my house on purpose. #ants #antkeeping #antfarm #IsThereEvenaTagForThisIDK
Deflate style hand vacuum as an electronic aspirator. Best of both worlds. Needs a pooter with a filter built in. #entomology #antkeeping #ants
A photo of African harvest ants
The African harvest ants one is worth $200 each but they are worth more than just this price tag, be responsible and don't buy smuggled ants.

My eldest has a new occupant for his formicarium. He named her “Amanda” after Amanda Ripley. Her predecessor’s name was “Ripley,” named for Amanda’s mother, Ellen Ripley. #ants #antkeeping #alien #aliens
Clear vinyl tubing connected by fitting the smaller tube into the larger. over the past few months ants have chewed it back by a few mm a large black major continues the “Little Dig” project.

A dozen black ants of various sizes explore their new space.
Yeah my carpenter ants need more space to explore… look at how they have slowly gnawed down this tube. So today I hooked up a new outworld for them. #antkeeping #happyants #ants #antposting
Fun fact: Did you know that Ant queens do not control the colony? In fact, depending on the species, they might be entirely at the mercy of the workers. They can be dragged around, and forced to move. And even, executed for being slackers... A greedy queen is a dead one.

My little guys dragging a mealworm into their nest! Wild how they do that. So far this has been working for them. Haven’t settled on a name for them yet but I’m excited to decide!

Meet Queen Lucy!
Looks like I’ll have some nanitics in a couple of days.
I’ve decided that I’ll be naming my Queens after the work wives I’ve had over the years.

A wooden ant nest shaped like an upright log cut in half. Through plexiglass you can see the nest chambers. Most are full of ants, but a few have silk cocoons, or eggs.
Two ants annoyed by the light on my camera hustle the brood away
My carpenter ants have a small pile of "winter brood" as soon as it gets warm they are ready to increase in numbers. I can't wait to give them more places to explore #ants #CamponotusPennsylvanicus #carpenterAnts #antkeeping
