Ectomomyrmex astutus ants require a high-humidity environment and are prone to drying out. They thrive in natural setups or those with high-humidity soil. The queens are semi-claustral, meaning they forage for food and need to be fed during the founding stage. This species has a small social stomach, so it's better to feed them small amounts frequently.
