Black Field Ant Colony Update

This episode documents a turning point for The United. As the black field ant colony continues to grow, population management becomes part of responsible long-term care. Workers will soon be intentionally lured from the foraging area and removed as prey, applying natural predation pressure in a controlled way that reflects how ant colonies function in the wild. These ants are both pets and feeders. They consume the same prey offered to the toads—dubia roaches, hornworms, silkworms, grasshoppers—along with honey and fruits like apples, raspberries, and blueberries. Energy moves through the system, not out of it. Very soon, ants will be harvested in small numbers. The long-term goal is sustainability: a colony large enough to support regular removal without stress, while continuing to grow and regulate itself. This episode also marks the point where expansion becomes necessary. With the population reaching new levels, conversations begin about upgrading to a larger enclosure with Tar Heel Ants—one that provides more space, healthier growth, and better opportunities to observe and document the colony. This is not about loss. It’s about balance, intent, and building a system that mirrors real ecological relationships.
