    To be honest I have kept ants for 12 years and just caught queens myself, if the queen is rare then good luck. Treating ants like products is kind of the result of a market that illegally or a-legally traffics with animals including most dug out ponerines like H. venator. The money is a product of how the market works but Odontomachus in my opinion are valued $300 by the people who don’t live among them, in countries where they exist they’re as common and as “uncool” as your average ant so it’s all a matter of location and point of view. I personally consider my native species as interesting as any large expensive exotic, and they’re completely free

    Trap jaw ants are also a lot more difficult to raise. I personally had two queens with workers and they still didn't make it. While black ant colonies are very durable and easy to keep. Plus they don't bite or sting. While strap jaw ants possess a painful sting and bite and are also very fussy when eaters. Trap jaw Colonies take a very long time to develop like myrmecia.

      They actually do have a large red custom made cover that I forgot to film. They do prefer darker places, but meat ants in particular tend to thrive regardless of their environment. But, yes they do have a red cover they are kept under.
