An ant plague: Today we deal with an alarming, foreign mold invasion in the ant farm setup of our new pharaoh ant colony, (species: Monomorium pharaonis) called the Tomb Raiders. We discuss how this mysterious mold could pose a danger to the ant colony, how ants naturally deal and control mold growth in their living space, and attempt to eradicate the mold growth via a method involving artificial wind. Also, the plot twist will blow you out of your seat, no pun intended! Hope you enjoy another episode of the AntsCanada ant channel.
