But I know alot of you guys aren't going to do that so. :lol: But here is the link to it. That first picture there, that was to make you primarily ant keepers mad. :D lol

Note these things can easily kill a worker ant, so don't give them to small colonies. Only large mature colonies that can afford losing a few workers to his pinchers.
