Leaf Cutting Ant Forum

Eloise, we need to catch up sometime. Get your mum to chauffeur you through one day and drop you off. Im about to have 200 colonies delivered to the new ant room and a hand to look after them would be great. You are the closest to me after Jamie, you need to make sure you get a driving licence as soon as you can, I'm looking for an intern!!! Don't let all this school nonsense get in the way!!!
Anyway, your new setup looks great, is the colony growing as you would have hoped? What about swapping for an Atta!! I should also have some Acromyrmex coronatus in March and some Atta laevigata early April. Speak soon.

I let the soil dry out a bit! Now that you mention it, there seems to be a many more ants drowning at the moment, there are quite a few dead ants in the water!

Yes we do indeed! I would be more than happy to help out! My dreadful, stressful mocks are nearly over! The colony is definitely expanding so I'm happy I wouldn't mind swapping them for Atta, might be time for a change, although I have grown quite attached to this colony! I will do my best to get a driving licence as quickly as I can!

Sorry Andy, but look on the bright side at least you are not having to try and learn two years worth of information for 8 different subjects and cram it into your head before having to regurgitate it onto paper!!! Visiting Andrew's new ant room is something for me to look forward to!!
