Digged out some cocoons by accident more than a year ago. The colony survived and they now explore their 30l container.

I'm growing some weeds inside it with a led lamp but since the original soil was contaminated with weedkiller I had to replace most of it.

Pillbugs too for recycling the waste.

Need to spray water each day and turn on the lights manually.

I don't know. Looks like a common black garden ant but they aren't attracted by most sweets.

My camera still isn't good enough.

I've digged them out just a few cm below the surface. Queen and some cocoons.

They would have died in that spot it gets waterlogged and full of weedkiller.
