I just bought a Pheidole moerens colony and they are the cutest ants I've ever seen :D , sorry for the bad images I don't have a good camera and they are so small.

she ended up killing the first one I gave her, gave her another one and she might have killed it. There's a bunch of red stuff in the test tube and she ended up eating her eggs  :(

I didn't check up on her for a long time to reduce stress and to try to get her to lay eggs and I guess the honey I put in for her ran out, she tried to escape a few days ago and died today  :(
