Book Review
"The Ant Collective: Inside the World of an Ant Colony" by Armin Schieb
If you love insects, nature or ants you should get this book. It's dense with diagrams and illustrations that cover every aspect of the lives of wood ants, the famous ants of temperate forests who build pine needle mountains and have massive colonies.
Kids can enjoy the illustrations but this isn't a book made just for kids. The anatomy diagrams are some of the best I've seen.

Things are getting even stranger:
Peter Thiel is giving a series of lectures on the biblical Antichrist, organized by the Acts 17 Collective. “Acts” stands for “Acknowledging Christ in Technology and Society”.
In these talks, Thiel argues that the time is ripe for the Antichrist to rise to power, promising peace and safety by strangling technological progress with regulation.
He has previously suggested that Greta Thunberg could be the Antichrist. Now he's being more cagey about who's the lucky winner.
But okay: regulating big tech will bring on the Antichrist.
Meanwhile, NVIDIA announced that it intends to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, who in turn promises to build 10 gigawatts worth of data centers using NVIDIA tech - but in undisclosed locations, working with partners who have not yet been named. It may not ever happen, but it looks like circular financing where NVIDIA pays to get Sam Altman to buy its stuff, and the investors actually funding this are supposed to go along with it.
The Antichrist is looking better every day....

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •The illustrations are carefully crafted digital drawings and very accurate. A lot of care went into making this book. I kind of wish I could have grown up with it, at first just enjoying the images, then reading more and more of the details and captions to discover the secrets of these very common but amazing ants.
The ants featured in the book are from the forests of Europe, but you can find similar species in the pacific northwest.
Five Stars! Excellent Book!

If you mean the green "Uncle Milton" farms of mail order fame those were harvester ants, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis, specifically. These ants can be shipped without much issue as they are very hardy and they can live on seeds making them easier to feed than ants that require insect protein or live prey.
They also have a nasty sting. But, you need to really ask for it to get stung (unlike fire ants who will just sting you by way of saying "how's it going?")
myrmepropagandist
in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •@hi_cial
But that was the age of mail order ants in the back of comic books. I think if you live in the US it's much for fun to keep carpenter ants.
You do need to give them bugs to eat, which can be a deal-breaker for some, but they don't sting so you can interact with them more.
It's possible to keep many other species. Learning about your local ants and how to raise them is part of the hobby!

Some ants can sting, some cannot. All ants will try to bite, but only a few have a bite that would cause pain for a human.

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •@hi_cial the inverse is true too, if you have food in pharao ant country.
Long ago we went camping and there were only 10 tents in a camping ground that should have had 100. We were lucky that we used 2 little tents, one for luggage and one for us, because by morning there were 5 dark highways from rather far away towards the other tent.
The only type of container they never got in, was the choco pot and the jam jar. But opening it with hundreds under the rim 😏

in reply to Keeper of the orb • • •@hi_cial
Oh... I would NOT recommend trying to keep wood ants as pets. Generally speaking field ants do very poorly in captivity. They are creatures of the forest and have very complex needs (for example many antkeepers discovered their colonies of wood ants wouldn't thrive unless supplied with pine needles and resin)
Also their colonies are massive. So unless you have an "ant room" you don't have enough space to really let them thrive.

myrmepropagandist
in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •@hi_cial
Also some species of wood ants are protected species in many countries in Europe. It is illegal to keep them as pets.
(not all species, so it is possible to legally keep wood ants, but it's "advanced antkeeping" in my book, and you'd get as much enjoyment from a carpenter ant species, and they'd be much happier)

in reply to babiak • • •@babiak
I always suggest by learning about the common ants in your area. Find out their species and see which ones interest you.
There are some good ant shops in Europe (especially Germany for some reason) that have nest boxes and out-world and sometimes sell queens.
But it's also possible to collect a wild queen once you know when they fly.
Starting a colony from scratch gives you the best opportunity to observe interesting ant behaviors.
myrmepropagandist
in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •@babiak
Also when you start with a founding queen and watch her raise her first eggs you don't need a lot of supplies. For many species all you need are some glass test tubes, cotton balls and water. You don't even need food for the first weeks.
Founding queens can fail so it's a good idea to get two or three and put each one in a test tube. Check that you have a "Fully Claustral" species. It's very important to know the species so you provide the right care.
