Too true, also quite fragile as simply handling them has killed one (sorry). I actually think that's why so many hang out here because we live on the kingdom of the ants and we keep the army ants out and let the bees nest cleaner ants in ;)
Yes we've had them in the basement for years. Its in Mexico, we also have most of the ants in the game and quite a few more. Leaf cutters, cleaners/drivers, honeypots etc...
Wow We have a bunch of these guys that live in our basement/cellar on the ranch. Some are just so massive its amazing. Gental giants. Definitely my favorite guests ❤
