@ Legin76

i currently have 3 dead ants which i am not going to remove cause i know they will all escape ,what im planning on doing is letting all of my current ants go and then creating a more user friendly lid with some spare acrylic sheet i have , namely making sure it has a hatch of some sort in the middle for all easy access

Famished just let the ant be, it will be more bother than its worth removing it unless your ants dont try and escape

Mate my ants are as good as gold, they never try and escape, I have given them lessions on what happens if you climb walls

I'm reminded of a Monty Python sketch of a documentary on ants.
The narrator starts "Ants, for their size, are the strongest creatures on the planet."
He then proceeds to pull its legs off, and says "Haha, we're not so tough now, are we, Mister Ant!"

Sick jokes aside, can the ant move about OK? If so I'd let it live.

nah it cant move at all, its stuck in the same place and it just moving its head about. I think I am gonna have to put it out of its missery!

[Donny John]

Let it live

btw ur tank is getting a bit dirty, is that a pubic hair in there? lol

[Nick F]

heheh, nah its not pubic hair you git

I am sorry I had to do it, it was to much for her, she was struggling and would have suffered a painful death.

[rajagra]

I'm sad now.

[Matt1eD]

that is pubic hair in your tank. I agree with oyu famished... ants should be taught lessons if they try to escape (I woudn't if I'd paid for mine).

[Twigman]

omg....famished...you are taking this way too seriously...

I think, after all these posts, let me be the first to say: Get a life ;p

[joshwa]

aww I feel for your pain famished. it must have been tough putting angelina out of her misery, but you knew you had to do it.

gonna get some ants in about 2 weeks when I'm back from my holiday.

Come on dont be silly, of course I am not taking this too seriously! I am messing around and just trying to create a bit of fun here. Its not like I sit there watching what they do all day long

[poindextermatic]

What is it if it's not a pube? Sure looks like one to me too what are you doing to those poor ants?

[Nick F]

Come on people keep on topic, how could a pub get in my ant farm Its rather small as well compared to the ants!

In other news look like lots of my larvae have now hatched. They are really small. I will post some pictures later tonigh.

[Legin76]

Well my ants had slowed down work quite a bit so I decided to get a few more.

I still have not managed to find the nest but gathered about 10 more ants.

There still appear to be 2 dead ants in the tunnels but now I've put the lid back on they are full of live ants.

I also managed to remove the dead ant from the top and used the end of a cotton bud with the cotton wool removed to make the least touched tunnel deeper. This seems to have got them working more in that tunnel.. YAY.

The new camera has not arrived yet but I'll take some pictures as soon as it arrives.
