Thank you for visiting my web site. It is my intention to teach you the basics of myrmecology (the study of ants) whether you intend to keep captive ants of your own, or perhaps conducting a school project, or you just want to learn a little more about these fascinating creatures.

ATTACK OF THE FLESH-EATING BEETLES:

DERMESTIDS!!

My awesome friend, Dermy, is an avid enthusiast of the flesh-eating beetles called Dermestids.

Museums keep colonies of them to strip the old flesh of any bones they get for their displays! He has set up a forum for those interested.

Please do visit by clicking on the skull picture above and support Dermy and ask him your questions about Dermestids.

1 January 2012 - Well, a new year is upon us and so I would like to thank everybody who has ever visited this web site or the associated forum. It’s hard to believe that this web site is now in its 12th year! :-O This year has had its ups and downs for all of us, whether it be in our personal lives, our work, or globally and so I wish you all a happy and prosperous new year. Did you make any New Year resolutions? Perhaps one of them was to keep ants? :-P If so then I hope this web site will be of use to you. Please do come and speak to me and other ant enthusiasts on our forum. Thank you.

27 September 2011 - I have managed to resurrect the old Myrm’s Ant Nest Forum (MANF) from it’s deep hibernation phase (closure) and we are now preparing a colony move from the temporary forum back to the old one. So all you members from the old MANF, wake up out of your hibernation and get posting again. New members vary welcome. Click on the forum tab, or the black ant picture above to get back to the old forum.

AntHillsNet - A new company from Latvia that sells ants and ant related products. I know a few people who have ordered

from them and I have had very good feedback from those customers.

27 March 2012 - Well done to MANF member Thomas2010 who won the competition I recently ran on the forum in which the prize was a $77/£50 voucher to be spent at AntHills.Net. This competition was open to all members and staff of Myrm’s Ant Nest Forum. Another competition will commence in the near future.

Other than that, the forum seems to be doing well, with over 20 new members in the past few weeks.

Come on and join us. It’s free and you get to speak with other ant keepers of all ages.
