New Camponotus Nicobarensis Ant Farm | 15-Month Care Update
In this ant keeping Video, we go through the history of our Camponotus Nicobarensis Colony, a very popular exotic ant species originating from Asia, often kept by both beginner and experienced ant keepers as pets. While we care about our ant colony, we show you around their new formicarium, which consists from an Empire of Ants outworld and my self-made Ytong Ant Nest!

Today we share the progress of our favourite Serviformica Cunicularia Queen Ant with you - the journey until the first worker ants are born!
This ants life cycle is what you can expect when getting started with ant keeping. Very representative not only for ants belonging to the Formica genus, but European ant species in general.
Formica Cunicularia, along with Formica Fusca are good all-rounder ant species for beginner as well as experienced ant keepers. The ant colony growth is fairly fast and thanks to their size exceeding that of their Lasius counterparts - it is easy to distinguish their brood between eggs, larva and pupa!
Have fun watching!
