I'm still trying to figure out what exactly the ants like to eat. Here we have a platter of some steel cut oatmeal, a bit of spring roll wrapper, a nice big dead bug, a piece of Chinese medicine-like dried fruit that is good for your throat, and some nice sweet grapefruit juice.Some of ants seem to like the grapefruit juice but it's not an overwhelming success like I expected. They really, really like freshly killed mosquitos, especially ones that are freshly gored on my blood. Every time I put a plump mosquito in, it's gone in 60 seconds.
You're letting mosquitoes eat you to feed your ants? Now that's dedication.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the ants just like the taste of your blood?!?!?
See you can get some of your fresh blood in there. :-)
