Farming

Farmers cultivate the popular eggs. Five factors affect growth rates.

Settlement

Ants like to live in an open ground area with lots of trees but not dense shade. From October to December ants quickly build a large nest. The bigger the nest, the more eggs it can store.

Trees

Ants build their colonies on various kind of trees, but they prefer mango, rambutan, longan, litchi, apple and orange.

Close observation

Ants from different colonies fight and can destroy some colonies if not adequately separated.

Feeding

Ants prefer raw food over cooked or dried and they like small, weak, or dying but not rotten animals. Their food should be small enough that they can carry it into the colony. Food needs are greatest during the early spawning season from September to December and during the spawning season from January to April. After the eggs have been collected during May to June, the ants need to be fed frequently and in large quantities.

After collection

After the eggs are collected the colony will weaken leaving it vulnerable by nearby colonies.
