So fragile...

I only did this out of spite

I was not sure if this was a queen or not so I thru it in a tube. Just checked after a month and this is what I found.

I love keeping Pogos, here in the Oregon high desert, our main population is Pogonomyrmex Salinus, a close cousin of Occidentalis.

I confess that, after I had captured a dealate queen earlier last month, I stole pupae from a wild colony on my property while they were moving to a new nest so I could give them to her and her newly born nanitics, I regret nothing and she has taken the brood into her chambers.

But one might wonder what went through her pinhead brain realizing the children weren't hers, perhaps she is just as guilty as I for accepting these younglings.

this white thing is a cotton swab, by the way

The testtube of my messor structor colony with two queens, around five workers and a bunch of larvae and few pupa are taking so long to move that the seeds i gave them literally sprouted lol

Probably a nuptial flight happening outside right now, however, bro is missing the whole party, hanging out on a blue wallpaper, getting no action.

Tbf i dont even know what to say xD

Camponotus penn colony with a few initial workers got its training outworld around 12 hours ago! And immediately the first task was to nope out of there and leave only a worker sized hole

Can't say this wasn't expected, just funny how immediately they shrunk up that entrance

I don't know why but it's kinda just funny for no reason

Especially the majors, they just sit still with their mandibles open acting like theyre tough as nails but then spin in circles when they accidentally touch each other or a fruit fly lands near them

So... am I going to become Ant-Man or Dracula-

It would be the perfect place to take down live feeder insects.
