     单后制: 通常每个殖民地有一只蚁后。
   • Queen Body Length: Approximately 5.0 mm.
     蚁后体长: 约5.0毫米。
   • Worker Body Length: Ranges from 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm.
     工蚁体长: 从3.5毫米到4.5毫米不等。
   • Colony Size: Can house several thousand individuals.
     蚁群规模: 可容纳数千只个体。

2. Suitable Temperature and Humidity (适宜的温度、湿度):

   • Temperature: Prefers a temperature range of 22-28°C.
     温度: 适宜温度范围为22-28摄氏度。
   • Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity levels, around 50-70%.
     湿度: 适应中高湿度水平，约50-70%。

3. Nesting Recommendations (巢室推荐):

   • Nest Type: Prefers nesting in wood structures, such as dead trees or wooden debris.
     巢型: 偏好在木质结构中筑巢，如枯树或木质碎片。
   • Environment: Should be provided with a stable substrate that mimics natural wood environments.
     环境: 应提供一个稳定的基质，模拟自然木质环境。

4. Food Sources (食物来源):

   • Diet: Omnivorous; feeds on a variety of foods including sugars, proteins, and insects.
     饮食: 杂食性；以各种食物为食，包括糖类、蛋白质和昆虫。

     补充喂食: 可以补充蜂蜜、香蕉片和蛋白质来源如黄粉虫。

5. Other Maintenance Tips (其他饲养建议):

   • Temperature Control: Maintain a consistent temperature within the preferred range to ensure colony health.
     温度控制: 保持环境温度稳定在适宜范围内，以确保蚁群健康。
   • Humidity Maintenance: Regularly monitor and adjust humidity levels to prevent desiccation or mold growth.
     湿度维持: 定期监测并调节湿度水平，以防止脱水或霉菌生长。
   • Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in the habitat to maintain air quality without compromising humidity.
     通风: 确保栖息地有良好的通风，以保持空气质量而不影响湿度。
