I'm excited to get this queen soon and I’ll do an update on her when I get her she has 4 workers and she looks really good, super excited!
Also I don’t know how my Formica Subsericea Queen is doing as I haven’t checked on her, I’ll be checking on her this Friday with (hopefully) her first live worker, I hope she makes it.

I got the queen last night she looks great with her reddish orange body and black head and gaster with some sliver.




In the picture you can’t see her colors very well or the nice sized brood pile very well but she is doing good and her workers were a little curious after I put them in the outworld and looked around the entrance of there tube but now the three workers stay near the queen and brood, soon there will be a fourth worker and I love there new outworld!

New nanitic! It must have just enclosed because I could barely see it against the sand. The new nanitic also surprised me because it moves around just as much as any other worker.


One of the workers has filled up on honey as her gaster is extremely full and one of the other workers has a good amount as well.

These ants are doing great they already have 9 or more workers and have more on the way, for the first time out of any of my colonies they have dragged in almost an entire mealworm and it is now just the hard shell any ideas on why they might do this and my other colonies don’t?
