When Theo saw the big insect that was the queen, he found it good enough to get the metal box down.
Many small ants were frolicking around at an increased pace, leaving only the big ant queen to stay at one spot and feel the ground through her antennae.
Theo had already had Elias put a coating of the special mixture at the start of the main big terrarium too.
The height of the ant colony's container was really high, but still, they could never be too sure.
When he saw the box on the ground again, Theo frowned. There were a few ants still left inside it.
'Mantis, capture them one by one, but don't kill,' Theo gave the mental command, making the hungry mantis already move.
He emphasized the point of not eating them, which would be rewarded with its favorite food, and after watching it get the first ant, he smiled when the mantis didn't eat it.
He quickly tapped his hand and moved it down, making the mantis hop on it.
