I got stick insects this weekend, and have just heard that their former home has since been overrun by ants and all their relatives brutally killed :(

# ants are very territorial I think
and the presence of a growing colony of stick insects in the kitchen must have upset them a bit

I only mention this because I wanted some of the tadpoles as well but they were hiding under the pondweed. Either that or the sticklebacks have eaten them all :/
