Wait really! That’s actually great! Do these ants sting? And they are semi-claustral which means I have to feed them right? Any other special tips for them?
Yeah, M. americana are really neat. Unfortunately from what I've read (and experienced), they are pretty difficult to care for. I think they are specialist predators of a certain kind of mite.
Oribatid mites to be exact.
Maybe this journal and the member behind it (AntsAreUs) might be of help. http://www.formicult...ricana-journal/
