I think they originally had their nest near a nuclear reactor.

I will be selling little colonies of around 20 ants. These require a small country, preferably an island nation, the seas around the coast form an ideal moat. Somewhere like Ireland would be great.Shamual wrote:That's great, can we get some minimum tank dimensions lol?

Perfect. I have a 30x30x30cm tank they can go in. Any prices? I'll make a for sale drawing for you
I keep over 20 species of ant, inc. Acromyrmex Octospinosus

If that's the size of a worker - how big are the queens?

375 square foot at £20 per sq ft = £7500! But you can cook and eat the eggs she lays and she can lay up to 20000 per day so hens are old school.
