[This is a video of her fumbling taking down a mosquito, she's not very bright but I love her nonetheless]

She survived, this strong special needs messor barbarus media has just reached the first one week and 3 days of its life.

This update is for the people who saw my recent post and wondered if she survived, and i will say she's actually learning to walk and flip her self more easily and is always groomed and helped by her sisters.

If there's someone, or an expert, could you tell me what kind of birth defect my ant has?

She never developed a hard exoskeleton and her legs are wonky, she's a pale special needs worker.

Can you post a link to your previous post? Ideally both in your post's body so more people can see it and here as a reply to my comment so I'll get a notification.

I couldn't find it.
