It's ants?

You might want to put more effort into specifying what you want to find out.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

 

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

It's just a liquid feeder. I make these out of rolled up tissues and cotton soaked with my special ant formula (literally just honey, sugar, strawberry jam, and water mixed together).
