I was asked to assist to set up a live ant colony at the American Museum of Science and Energy, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. I encouraged them to purchase an Ant Cube from Germany and provided technical support and a one year old Camponotus castaneus colony since they are nice and orange to go with the University of Tennessee's Orange/White. If you are within driving distance come on to Oak Ridge on May 20th!!
