Leaf Cutting Ant Forum

I keep seven Acromyrmex sp Brazil queens collected on November, 8th in Porto Alegre.
I have added fungus from an Acromyrmex colony to help them and now the fungus is growing.
My colonies are polygyn, two have got 2 queens and one, 1 queen.
All "colonies" have got eggs and one has got few larvaes.

Here is a video took today: http://youtu.be/Aen5FCXtEXg

Thanks for sharing! Must admit I'm quite envious of your collection lol. May I ask where you got these lovely queens? fantastic!!

You are doing very well with these, seems you have managed to get them some distance along. What species are they again?
Queens are difficult to get going. I often come across nuptial flights of Acromyrmex in Trinidad but have never collected mated queens because it is a lot of work. Might be there would be enough interest from others to raise some queens here.

I would do anything to raise atta from a queen/very small colony or Acromyrmex from a queen

A friend sent me them from Brazil.
I don't know the specie, I only know it is not octospinosus and lundi.
In fact, it is really interesting to keep leaf cutters from a queen.
