Re: Trinidad Expedition Dec - Jan 2016
These are some pictures of the room, in my soon to be finished house in Trinidad, where I kept the ants.
Table with pond liner and tubs sitting on islands. You've got to watch for the ants dropping rubbish into water and then using debris as bridge.
Also the mossies love the dirty water so after a week you come into a cloud of hatching mosquitos. Not the nicest welcome to 2 hours of feeding and checking daily!

Brilliant, really interesting to see them all collected, ready to get packed up. How many do you find yourself Andrew and how many have already been located by farmers etc?
