On the first rainy day in spring, all male and female ants come out from the ground to fly around and mate. In April this year, Glen caught a few queen ants from the ground. They already bit off their wings and were looking to start their colonies.

This is Queen One. She already laid a number of eggs.

This is Queen Two attending to her eggs.

This ant already had a few eggs developing into larvae.

First adult ants.

This is a large queen ant Glen caught. It's got a few larvae and pupa, but unfortunately she did not survive.

This is one of the queens in her nest, taking care of the eggs while the worker ants go about to collect food for her and the colony.

This ant dug a hole in the ant farm to make her nest.

What do ants eat? Well, pretty much everything, but they are supposed to be on a varied diet. Glen's been feeding them fruits and insects. He went to the basement every night to catch moths and bugs for them. Sometimes he catches crickets, grasshoppers and butterflies to feed the ants.

Insects and fruits go bad quickly, so he has to clean the ant farms with wet cottons regularly.

Ants on a slice of grape.

Ants on a slice of plum.

Now we have two flourishing ant colonies that Glen loves to show off to visiting kids. It's become one of the attractions of the house
