Army Ants !

Did you have to run away so they wouldn't dismember and devour you? 
Army ants would make a really interesting pet but I imagine they'd be difficult. I tried to keep honeypots before but never could get a colony going.

I looked them up and it's from the genus Eciton, possibly E. bruchelli. I've seen termite cultures, bullet ant nests, honeypot ant and leaf-cutter ant nests on display but have never seen nor heard of an army ant display. It might not be possible to culture them even if they were available.
