There was an ant show on the science channel and they had an AWESOME segment showing the relationship between N. bicalcarata and it's ants. It came on like 13 minutes into the show and has AWESOME video. It's a new ant show, not a re-run. I think it's on now auctually....

Some of you don't really care probably and are like What the heck ants? WELL I have found something quite amazing, and it makes me REALLY happy as a myrmophile! (ant enthusiast) My small first year colony of A. fulva has been destroyed by a parasitic queen. Called A. tenneseensis! This is not...

Hi guys, In my res, on the window....daily I see atleast 4 of these. they look sooo daunting. One day...I made on of them fall down...opened the window...tried to hold it with a tissue....was disgusted and let it go. I suddenly smelt a strange odor. I smelt it close and it was like a strong...

I noticed that ants are hovering around my pitcher plant. I do not know if they are attackig the plant or what but I am a little concerned......any thoughts?

I've got these golden yellow ants all over my balcony and they are now nesting in more then one of my nep pots. Problem is, they are carnivorous and are not attracted to the sundews nor the pitchers. Is there anything I can do to wipe them out? I don't think they are harmful to the roots of my...

Tomorrow is my mothers birthday, and I was making her a layer cake all day yesterday. I worked so hard! it was my first cake but it looked great! It even had realistic icing cattleyas. This morning, thousands of ants, everywhere. When I threw it away the layers split and ants swarmed out. They...

Ok, based on reading a past thread on feeding CP's, I just tried the stunned ant method. It worked great! Trying to catch live ants is tough as they run all over the place. Instead i collected as many live ants as i could using a stick and a glass jar with lid. I then put it in the freezer for...

Hi, When I watered my outdoor VFTs today, one of the large deep pots apparently has a colony of fire ants inside. They rushed out frantically and started crawling all over the plants, springing some traps to close....which sucks because theyr'e too tiny to get caught and just plain wastes the...

All of my VFT's were closing really fast when I bought them, but since they have been out in my flower bed in about 6 hours of sun a day, they just plain don't want to close. I have seen ants devouring the nectar, and do everything except pull the traps over themselves, but my traps either don't...

I started growing sunflowers this year, and they have been growing really well, the wierd part is when i woke up this morning the top leaves of one row had disappeared over night all the other rows were left alone but that one row was missing the top. would that be like a dear or something? my...

Hello, I have this spare 40 gallon breeder tank, and don't have anything to put in it. I've been thinking of mantids, a colony of ants... turtles, crested geckos... but I can't decide! Does anyone know of any generally easy-to-care for animals that would do well in this situation? Thanks!

Although most of my CP are Venus Flytraps, I have one Sarracenia purpurea, two Drosera capensis, a Drosera adelae and a single pot of Cephalotus that has turned, in the two-and-a-half years I have had it, into a small colony (see photo below). I am not familiar at all with Cepalotus. I obtained...

Well, an army of sugar ants was invading my room about one week ago. So, I got my D.burmannii and my D.aliciae and prepared them for the feast. I sprinkled quite a few ants on each plants leaves. Now, my D.aliciae and my 4 D.burmannii are all sending up flower stalks. Are the flowers the result...
