Although this was originally going to be simply a rehousing video featuring my two Phormictopus sp. South Hispaniola juveniles, I decided to spice it up a bit by making it a husbandry video as well. The two transfers went very well, and both of my specimens are currently eating their first meals in their new homes.

My son, Roane, was wielding the camera for this one as I needed both hands for safety.
