I've been keeping ants for a little over 2 years now, a strange choice of pet I know, but a fascinating and fun one! I dont have any colonies at the moment as I am moving bedroom, and the move would be bad for them, so I set my colonies free, I have kept Formica fusca - This pic shows Ff workers tending to their Queen Lasius niger - These little fellas are the ants most Brits see in their gardens and Myrmica ruginodis - This pic is actually not a ruginodis worker, its a Myrmica rubra worker, but the two are almost identical. These are a mainly British/European species with a pretty nasty sting in their little tails! (Similar to that of a nettle) and their whole outlook on life is "Kill or be killed" Nathan

Ants are really intresting vreatures to keep only problem is mine kept escaping. I did love gving them live food tough and watching 100s of them come out of thier nest to eat it.
