Identifying species,  Caring for (fertile) queens, and Diet of ants is all new to me. I know for a fact i know more about how southern ants react to things then you. Since i was five I've done ant reaction testing. i would take 50 samples of ants and see how they react to the same substance or whatever i used. I don't judge you guys for not knowing the reactions that most ants do, so don't judge me for asking questions about taking care of queens.

-Dorymyrmex insanus

-Pogonomyrmex barbatus

-Pogonomyrmex subnitidus

-Pogonomyrmex SP

-Liometopum luctuosm 

-linepithema humile

-Solenopsis Xyloni

-Solenopsis Molesta

-Formica Moki

-Solenopsis invicta 

 

that's a list of the species I've tested SO FAR. When i was five i had a great interests in all insects, but ants seem to be the main study for now


not calling anyone out or anything. just something i want you guys to remember.

Gregory, it bugs me to see that you believe I'm stupid. Once again I'm way smarter then you when it comes to ant reactions. It also bugs me that you think you are superior to me.

I do not think I am superior, or that you are stupid, I think you should stop thinking you are so smart though. This is a hobby, and you know nothing compared to someone like James C. Trager, or Gordon Snelling, or even Andrew Smith. I am just asking you to acknowledge that and be a little more humble instead of thinking you are the smartest.

I hate to say it but you don't know everything, until I see a Degree for Myrmecology, then I will believe you know a lot, till then you don't know everything about ants, not even half of what some others know, such as those named above.

You do not have one, if you don't quit saying that, then I will just say your real age. It is getting annoying.

And to all you saying that i think I'm the smartest, I'm telling you that I have more experience with ant reactions. don't start an argument over it, unless you want me to retaliate. Btw done being nice to any comments that are posted here that are calling me out. You call me out and its war.

Well we don't need wars here Alza. What exactly is the point of this thread, because I'm really thinking of deleting it?

its off topic for a reason. I'm stating that i specialize in different things, because people are calling me out for being new to queen ants.

I don't think anybody's "calling you out". This seems unnecessary, and just looks like you are trying to start a fight.

Also, a correct way to say this would have been "The Study of Ant Physiology in their Response to Varied Stimuli. <- (Plural for stimulus apparently.) :P <-- Totally did not come up with that right now!  :sarcastic:
