Myrm's Ant Nest - Myrm's Ants

I currently have 5 colonies of my own at the moment. To read more about each colony, including regularly updated journals, select the relevant button below.

I also have available the journals of various ant colonies I have kept in the past, including my original Lasius niger colony (Lasius niger 1) which I started off in 2001 with a single lone queen from the mating flights of that year. She went on to produce such a large colony that in 2006 they had to move out into the garden and live freely in the soil there, where they still thrive today.

For those of you who frequent this section of the web site, you’ll notice a slight change here. I am trialling a new method for visitors to read my journals, whilst cutting down on the amount of duplicating work I have been doing whereby I post updates to my journals on this web site and on the related forum.

My current journals can now be read by visiting the member’s journals on my forum. Though there are quite a number of journals from different members, you’ll only be able to see mine, but you will be able to make comments in my journals without having to join the forum. To see all other members journals, and to be able to fully participate in the rest of the forum, you will need to sign up for membership.

To read my current journals please click on the crest below.

The journals of my past ant colonies can still be accessed by the traditional method below. Thank you.

You can also follow me and my ants on Twitter (see below).

I have created a Twitter account on which I plan to make regular little updates on my ant colonies (and perhaps a few updates on what I am doing in my life).

EDIT: If you do send a Follow request to me please add a few words to the request saying who you are & why you have made the request, otherwise I may not accept as I may not recognise your name. Thanks.

Yes, even you naughty bin lids can follow me if you wish. :-)
