Yeah maybe you're right...I lowered the price to about $45 or so
That's a good price.
Also, Neivamyrmex is difficult but possible to keep. They just need lots of ant brood as food(they're perfect for someone with a forest backyard). They also need a large nest. I'm working on a post listing several formicarium ideas for nomadic, stationary, and non-nest building ants.
It's never been successful like Gordon has stated. A child's thread on how to go about it certainly won't make it successful or increase the chance either. Especially considering you likely have no experience with the species, and surely have never had a "successful" colony of them. It's important to remember where you stand in this hobby, which I am pretty sure is a amatuer hobbyist keeping a few average colonies in your bedroom. Most of us are only hobbyists, and in fact no very little on the subject. Especially when it comes to species such as Neivamyrmex.
That's actually true. I've only kept ants for 3 years, and the first year was really amateur.
I did keep Technomyrmex and a small worker colony of Leptogenys once though. They don't really qualify as true army ants anyway. They are just nomadic.
My parents don't let me keep ants in my bedroom anyway
In truth, I'm slightly hurt over your comment, but its fine. I've been hurt both physically and mentally throughout my life, and I know that same goes for you. This is just a form of social media, after all.
That's why I don't have instagram or whatever. I get hurt too easily
One comment on this forum is nothing like the Grammar Police on the yuku forum, haha.
