That's good! And the crickets and flies? Out of the freezer or fresh?

Flies are freezed ... (but sometimes I find on window at home hehe) ... , and crickets are fresh - killed of course. We have pet-shop and we keep crickets there so there is possibility to get all sized :)
I also give them sugar or honey water , but they prefer to lick whole water condensation from glass , sugar water only sometimes and mostly workers which take secure of enter of nest (so probably these oldest)

Hello , ants are doing very well :) and I am proud of it. I wish to reach 100 workers this month - almost all old workers died and there are 90 percent of new ones which have born at my home

I have new camera Canon SX30 IS ... , still learn to make a makro with it ... I need to buy some Raynox DCR-250 on it , because this is max of that camera itself

That video of the ants drinking is amazing! I'm not sure, but the mite looks more like a springtail to me. Those are harmless, I believe. Actually they will clean up waste and mold if they are present in large numbers, so you shouldn't mind Jake at all.

What kind of moss is that? It looks very nice, but won't it turn brown someday?

I do not know what specie it exactly is. It is specie what I usually use in my formicaries and terrariums. It do not lost green color after death or dry (other species what I´ve tried do :( )
