But it was pretty awesome watching them devour other insects. There was this weird metallic purple beetle thing, and they bogged it down, and then one of them chewed right through its body and poked its head through a big hole in its abdomen. Boy that was great.

I once gave em a decent sized moth, and they chewed through it in about 5 minutes. A few legs and scraps of the wings were all that was left
although it was a serious pain if one got out and started biting me
Those things hurt!
Or if the insect jumped out before i could close the lid (which happened a few times with crickets & grasshoppers).
But probobly the best time I had watching the ants devour live insects whole was when i somehow caught a full grown Praying Mantis. The thing was about the size of my finger, and put up a damn good fight (it killed quite a few ants itself before succuming to the wrath of the scourge!)
..... scourge? god, I play too many video games....
sounds like I was running my own Gladiator Arena, eh?
