I'd suggest taking a look at this care sheet here on formiculture. It gives you some basic guidance and specifications.

Also, I like the lego!


Manica invidia (1 queen,  ~200 workers)

Manica invidia (1 colonies, 1 queens plus 3 workers)

Lasius niger (single queen, ~200 workers - naturalistic, predatory set-up)

Lasius americanus (1 colony, ~10 workers)

Tetramorium immigrans (3 colonies, 3 queens, ~ five workers each | 1 colony, 1 queen, ~1200 workers)

Formica aserva (aserva queen, ~15  â€‹Formica neorufibarbis workers)

 

"And God made...everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. 

And God saw that it was good." - Genesis 1:25
