As you may or not know, while doing ant-related stuff for my fire ant journal, I found many queens. Along with Solenopsis, I also found a Vulpinus arboricus queen.

She's nested in a top-recommended doghouse formicarium which does cost more than $ 4,000-dollar jumbo test-tubes that are 12 feet long so that she actually fits, but it payed off. The queen has already laid 3 eggs, and I bet more are on the way. Fox-ants are known to have very potent acid which has a 101% percent chance of killing any American who breaths it in, but I have a mask so I should be fine-. Anyways, any tips on how to care for V. arboricus ants, especially for founding, will be very helpful, as all I know right now is that she is semi-claustral and doesn't like high humidity.

Ants are small creatures... but together... they can rule the world.

We have some large larvae, and I think I saw a pupa!
