Ant keeping (myrmecology) is growing in popularity. You start with a single queen caught during a nuptial flight. Over months, you watch her raise the first workers (nanitics). You must manage humidity, protein intake, and hibernation cycles. The danger? A barrier failure. Waking up to 5,000 ants escaping into your bedroom is a rite of passage for many beginners. Use fluon barriers liberally!
