I recently caught 2 different queens. One of them I think is a tetramorium sp the other a camonotus Modoc. They are in test tube setups. the tetramorium has about 15 eggs the other none yet.

Yeah the camponotus queen kept pulling on the cotton so I’m kinda worried she will escape

It would be really nice if we could get some pictures so we could see what progressions the queens are making and not just reading them. Pictures and videos make people want to keep reading and paying attention to your journal.
