Much more spiky compared to tuberosa and seems to be longer and thicker. I am basing waht I just said on the few plants I have. The spikes on tuberosa is also harder and sharp like a needle. M. becarii's spikes are softer and does not really poke your hand when you touch it.

Nope! It would be interesting to have ants actually living in the tuber. I think it won't happen since I grow them in my apartment. I have a about 10 pots of ant plants in my apartment and none of them has ants living in them. But then again, if they start to have ants living in them, they will be kick out of the house by the "Minister of Home Affairs".
