Hey fellow Ant keepers, hope you all are doing fantastic.

 

Being the newest member on this forum, let me start of by introducing myself. My name is Aqdas Hassaan. I'm 23 year old and I'm a Computer student(graduating next year hopefully ;) ). I'm fairly new to this hobby and I think I'm the only guy representing Pakistan here. :facepalm: 

I got to know about this forum from Ants Canada and almost immediately wanted to become a part of it. As you can see ant keeping is not something popular in south Asia(BTW I just marked myself in member map :D ). People take all sorts of insects as pests here and without a doubt, ants are one of them. On the contrary, I just love insects particularly spiders and ants <3 and I would love to share my passion with the people that share my interest. Well enough of my boring talk, back to point. 

So currently I'm owning 2 queens of Pheidole sp. and a single tetramorium sp queen. Only one queen has just started laying her first clutch off eggs. I will be having loads and loads of questions in future for you guys as well so be ready for that(Just kidding :lol: ). I would appreciate any sort of help that I can get from the experts here. 

Regards.

Welcome to the Colony :).

 

I'm new here myself with the colony and hobby, I have learned rather a lot since I've joined, there is plenty of information here, you will be hooked on reading so you better get the coffee ready.

 

Wish you luck with both Queens.
