    UH OH. Those aren't ants!

    One #antkeepers at formiculture is raising a colony of #Pheidole pallidula, and has allowed Paussus favieri beetles ... terrible moochers who eat baby ants and let the ants feed them while doing no work, live with the colony. #ants

    Since the colony has basically unlimited food and a cushy life these #beetles won't kill the colony. But, I'm torn about the whole thing. Can't stop watching for updates, though and they just posted a new one:

    Fellow #antkeepers: have any of you tried one of these open feeding areas with a water barrier? I think it'd be amazing for filming. But, how to get the #ants to go back inside when you need to go out?
    Maybe put a cold pack under the platform so it gets cool and they go inside?

    This is from Underground Citi.

    Question for people who keep #ants

    How do you deal with problematic insects in your house (assuming use of insecticides inside the house is bad)

    I've managed to have no issues for years until now. I seem to have a fruit-fly invasion. Source unknown.
