   单后制: 通常每个殖民地有一只蚁后。

   • Queen Body Length: Approximately 3.5 mm.

   蚁后体长: 约3.5毫米。

   • Worker Body Length: Approximately 2 mm.

   工蚁体长: 约2毫米。

2. Suitable Temperature and Humidity (适宜的温度、湿度):
   • Temperature: Prefers a temperature range of 24-28°C.

   温度: 适宜温度范围为24-28摄氏度。

   • Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity levels, around 60-75%.

   湿度: 需要中到高湿度水平，约60-75%。

3. Nesting Recommendations (巢室推荐):
   • Nest Type: Prefers subterranean nests with intricate tunnel systems.

   巢型: 偏好地下巢穴，具有复杂的隧道系统。

   • Environment: Should be kept in a substrate that mimics their natural habitat, such as a mixture of sand and soil with adequate moisture.

   环境: 应保存在模拟其自然栖息地的基质中，如砂土混合物，并保持适当湿度。

4. Food Sources (食物来源):
   • Diet: Omnivorous; feeds on a variety of small insects, nectar, and sugary substances.

   饮食: 杂食性；以各种小型昆虫、花蜜和含糖物质为食。

   • Supplementary Feeding: Can be supplemented with protein-rich foods like mealworms or fruit pieces to ensure balanced nutrition.

   补充喂食: 可以用富含蛋白质的食物，如面包虫或水果片进行补充，以确保营养均衡。

5. Other Maintenance Tips (其他饲养建议):
   • Temperature Control: Use a reliable thermostat to maintain a consistent temperature within the preferred range.

   温度控制: 使用可靠的温控器，确保环境温度稳定保持在适宜范围内。

   • Humidity Maintenance: Regularly mist the habitat to maintain high humidity levels, avoiding excessive moisture that can lead to mold growth.

   湿度维持: 定期为栖息地喷水以保持高湿度，同时避免过度潮湿导致霉菌生长。

   • Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow to prevent the buildup of humidity and to provide fresh air without compromising moisture levels.

   通风: 确保充足的空气流通，以防止湿度过高，并在不影响湿度的情况下提供新鲜空气。

   • Safety: Handle the colony with care, as some Carebara species can be defensive and may bite when threatened.

   安全: 小心处理蚁群，因为某些Carebara种类具有防御性，受到威胁时可能会咬人。
