Hello,
I have a queen for a few weeks of Amblyopone australis, I have some difficulties with this queen, I would like to know if there are people on this forum who have this kind of ants to have information.
thank you
Hello and welcome to our forum,
Unfortunately you will most likely have to rely on experiences people made, while keeping different but closely related ant species. At least I don't know anyone, who successfully kept an Amblyopone species for an extended period of time. Not to speak of starting a colony from a single queen...
Maybe you could further describe the issues you are currently facing, so we may be able to give advise or help identifying possible reasons for your problems.
\edit - this article is the most info-rich one I know and covers a lot on the general biology of Amblyopone: Click me!
So long,
Chris
swagman, who is a member here and in the ameisenforum has tried to keep Amblyopone australis, but he hadn't succes. But maybe his keeping journal helps you a little bit, e.g. it is useful to know that you could give her brood of other ant species for food.
Greetings, Phil
Ok, thank you for the link I will read it.
