			<description><![CDATA[ Hi everyone,
<br>
I am new to starting an ant colony, but I&#39;ve had a lifelong interest in ants.
<br>
<br>
I am planning on making an ant farm, based on Chuck&#39;s two-jar system. I was wondering, so that I don&#39;t need to expose my ants to light while viewing
them in the nest, is it practical/safe to replace the foil/black material with a red-tinted adhesive vinyl / contact? If I was unable to find red, would a
magenta work the same way, or is it on too different a wavelength to be... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Folks,
<br>
<br>
I think the time has come for a &quot;How to&quot; sub-section of the forum to be written.
<br>
Personally, I think people should be forced to look through the form to find info. They undoubted learn from all the posts.
<br>
However, as this form/hobby grows in popularity we will be flooded with new enterprising individuals with question they will post.
<br>
<br>
The only way I see of preventing &quot;repeat posts&quot; is to create a &quot;Anting Guide to the Galaxy&quot;... ]]></description>

a bit and smaller colonies won&#39;t be able to raid and overrun native species as easily.

today I went over to a friend&#39;s house and surprisingly found 2 queens in the really cold temperature. I found them crawling out of the ground around 2PM in
Long Beach CA (SoCal). They were so extremely small that I had almost mistaken them for workers until I had a closer look. They are around 4mm, they&#39;re
really tiny. Anyone... ]]></description>
