I live in michigan,was told here that some ants that people have fed their HL's killed them.I feed my HL's several local ants here and try to stick with mostly the larger black ones.The carpenter ants here are large, as big as the harvesters and some are a little larger.I noticed that the HL's hesitate some if the ant is to large.I prefer to feed them the black ants here.Might order a few(harvesters) and mix them in with occasional crickets(winter), and I am also raising Roaches for them.They really go crazy when I throw in a roach, seems like they like the roaches better than anything.Also when they slow down on the ants some, i just give them a slight variation with a few crickets or roach.The roaches are really easy to keep and raise and its fun also.I really wonder if ants here in michigan and elsewhere also have the formic acid they need.Some of the ants here have a volatile smell,which i wonder, is it acid? scott
