: If given the opportunity to overwhelm the HL there is little doubt that the ants could kill it. They are nasty little buggers. However if fed in small quantities they should make a fine food source although a bit on the small side

: : : Let me first make clear that I do not own any HL's, nor do I ever plan on it. If I did plan on it Id want their australian cousin, the thorny devil. I just glanced thru the whole forum and didnt see it answered...Im wondering of anyones ever tried feeding their HL fireants?

: : Fire ants would kill it probably

:Thank you Gordon for your info. Fireants, Solenopsis invicta, are deadly to HLs, and to many other things that come in contact with them. How would you collect fireants? If you attempted to collect fireants, you would be in a world of hurt. You might even become the next victim of fireants. Lester G. Milroy III
