ants

I have a runty little royal red VFT that I'm...well not worried, exactly...but concerned about. It doesn't get much to eat, as the traps are small, and the bugs seems to prefer the greener, brighter plants surrounding it. As such, it's growth is almost at a standstill. So, I figured that the...

I used some dry ice to get rid of pesky ants.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e60o-dNfHdk

Came across this video and at 10:30 in there is a part with ants and Nepenthes. Pretty cool video, enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-gIx7LXcQM&feature=player_embedded

I guess I should have expected it sooner or later, but I think I have a problem. I have these white patches on my S. leucophylla. I'm thinking they might be mealys, but I'm honestly not sure. I don't see any around the rhizome, and these spots aren't like anything I've seen online. These spots...

Not too much of a story here...I put a drop of maple syrup out in the garden to try and coax ants to stop for a taste and pose for some photos for my blog. This was my favourite. Unfortunately I have no idea what species it is... Olympus OM-D E-M5, Zuiko 35mm macro, Olympus FL-36 flash, F11 @...

Hi all! I recently came into possession of a beautiful ampullaria 'lime twist'. However, the plant came to me with ants in the medium! I currently have it in a ziplock plastic bag. it's doIng ok in there but as an indoor grower I need to get rid of the ants before the amp can come out of the...

I recently bought a new camera: an Olympus OM-D E-M5. One of the reasons I bought it was that I wanted to try my hand at video. A couple of weeks ago I took some video of western thatching ants. I really didn’t have a plan, and to be honest, I wasn’t all that sure of what I was doing! But I...

Can a nep eat ants without any harm done to them(the plant)?

How do I do sarracenia dormancy in the refrigerator? I don't want to put it outside, because there are a lot of bugs(especially ants and spiders, one of the plants in front of my house got infected with melee bugs) and there are a lot of people who walk their dogs in my neighborhood. Thank you:)

This past weekend I went to a two day radio controlled glider contest in Visalia, CA. This sport actually gets really, really competitive, with many models going for $2,000 or more. I don't have any of those. What I was flying was a $60 kit built Gentle Lady and a discontinued kit built Spirit...

Hi all, My latest blog is about photographing ants...which are everything that a macro photographer looks for: they are small (pretty much a prerequisite for macro), attractive (some of them at least) and best of all, they do interesting things. The photo below is a western thatching ant...

I have some drosera outdoors and the ants get stuck all over them. Some have ants stuck on ants. Do you guys pull off the leftovers from your plants dinner? And can sundews be overfed?

So for two weeks I've been battling pharaoh ants in the house. Now there is an infestation in the whole house. Today when I got back home I saw what appears to be a nest on my nepenthes!!!! Terminator is coming tomorrow to bait the house and this is an over 6 month treatment. I DO not want to...

Hey guys my miranda has never really grown very well for me in just now when i moved the pot i discovered that ants are using the pot as a nest? Could this be the cause of my mirandas retarded growth? What should i do about this i really have no clue on how to deal with this invasion of the ant

I am thinking of starting a formacarium in a 2.5 gallon tank. Will normal gelatin work as the medium as long as I supply the ants food and water?

Will ant plants do well in the same enclosure as ants? Will their light and humidity requirements interfere with the ant's? I'd like insight for all types of ant plants, especially dischidia.

I have two questions, didn't want to make two different posts... 1. Just went out to my greenhouse and found a colony of ants living in there, as well as in my tomato plants' substrate. I sprayed the colony with roundup (I found them when killing weeds in the greenhouse with roundup) and it was...
