Now for most keepers this may not be big news but for me and some others who keep T. Sessile this is pretty big. I found another food that they will accept other than honey and fruit flies- wax worms! I placed a crushed wax worm in their foraging arena and tons of workers havr come to start sucking the insect's juices. I havr no idea if they only eat the insides but hopefully they will keep this up!!!

Proverbs 6:6-8 New International Version (NIV)

6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;
    consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer
    and gathers its food at harvest.
