Hello all,

I found this small species in a park just outside of NE Philly. Was wondering what they are and what they eat? Also, does anyone know a good man made nest for a small species?

 

(couldn't upload but here is a link to my best and only good picture https://imgur.com/qE724ju. Let me know if link doesn't work. Try copy and paste if clicking doesn't work.)

Thanks,

Ryan R.

Thanks. Are there any formicariums you would recommend? I probably have around 10 workers?
