Something went awry and one ant farm got out and got inside the other farm. Chewed all the heads off the other ones inside there. LOL

We've been watching ant farm/terrarium videos together on Youtube for a few weeks now. I think I'm more excited about it than she is. If the ant farm turns out like our terrarium project did, those ants will be dead in 2 weeks Last edited by KFWA; 12/12/23. have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings

Blacks fire ants kill the red fire ants, but are 100 times worse, as they have 100 queens. Blacks are virtually impossible to git rid of. About all you can do is to keep them out of the buildings. “To expect defeat is nine-tenths of defeat itself. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is best to plan for all eventualities then believe in success, and only cross the failure bridge if you come to it." Francis Marion - The Swamp Fox
