LOL it's like being told off by the FCC. Chill out man, you're posting a lot of stuff but not explaining anything. I mean, what kind of comments do you expect if you don't tell us what it is we're supposed to be looking at.

It's a feeding place
The ANTS can climb on the cardboard so I shouldn't leave them alone during eating

You mean an outworld? Outworlds are quite simple just take a big enough container put some dirt and barrier(baby powder x rubbing alchohol or water), add a lid if you want, add the test tube and that’s a homemade outworld.

Well I like that little box you made with the partitions. That will be ok to store and keep the ants test tubes in. But I wouldn't let the ants roam around in there with the test tube unplugged. If yoou're going to feed the ants just place the piece of food directly into the test tube and then plug it back up.

Okay so we have some McDonalds, a TV remote, some either dirt or dried out black tar heroin. What the hell are you trying to show us?
I think he's trying to show us his setup and how he keeps his tubes in the dark.

Boil any insects you find. The setup looks fine. Stop laughing at him, it is a pretty stupid thread, but I did worse when I started.

Can someone identity exactly which odontoponera species are my ants? I'm guessing 1 is dedinculata and the other is regular odontoponera

there are no regular odontoponera. Just different odontoponera species.

There's no reason to be so hostile in this thread, I do admit however that some of the jokes in this thread (hint hint) might be a little much, but it's no reason to use swears (not that drew's word filter doesn't catch them, but still.)

 

With the plastic wrap, I'd be worried about over-heating the test-tubes, esp. if left in sunlight. Almost looks like one of those craft microwaves you can make with tinfoil..... I would suggest putting them in the dark, and perhaps away from normal activities since it looks to be in the living room area, where someone could potentially damage the ants or disturb them.
