Yeah, I don’t build for Tapinomas…

Where does this extreme hatred come from? :lol:

I'm gonna take a guess... Tapinoma escape a LOT. I have a large colony of them and they're a handful. So much so... they're right now "enjoying" a nice hibernation in July... until I figure out what to do with them. lol

When they attacked my castaneus colony, it was war!

I released most of the colony but kept a few queens and two dozen workers and put them in a new setup.

any updates? I recently accidentally caught a colony of this species and they have been living in my new terrarium for a while now, currently don't have a good escape proof method so I see them exploring outside the tank alot.
