It is interesting to see how much difference in the Hl's I have how wide each specie can open its mouth.The solare cannot open its mouth as wide, even the little modestum has a widder gap.Seems the solares are more "dainty", when it comes to eating.Your right , you put in a medium crix lets say, and bam , the largest hl grabs it, sometimes you just can't stop it, and its intended for someone else.
I did not like the rechargeable idea when it came to getting ants.I have two large areas I get ants from, and the mounds are huge.Do you ever notice fumes comeing off collected ants as I do.The ants I use are smaller, not much smaller than harvesters, but there is a size difference.So , I need a few more of them I believe, and I do also rotate what mounds I use so as not to impact a certain colony of ants.Sometimes I will use black ants also, but as a rule there smaller, and the red/black ones the HL's love.I have to admit, I am really leary of trying "new bugs", for instance moths or any other.I use this or this it works and ok, but experimentation is good.
Sorta waiting to see if my female hernandesi goes into attack mode again, I put her back into general population and let the two solares have her spot , and she seems to be ok.She was after everyone, but, the only HL she could get a grip on where the backs of the solares hornes and she broke off two of them.Which is a dissapointment, as its horn config was soo awsome. scott
