A third worker just enclosed! Still have 4 more pupa left. The workers just now today were discovered foraging in there brand new foraging area and they absolutely loved the honey! Although for some reason they kind of ignored the sliced mealworm I gave them. So far so good.

How come you're updating your journal with new threads? Is this the same colony as the one in this journal here (http://forum.formicu...-formica-fusca/)?

I'm not exactly sure what you're saying, I only have one Acromyrmex journal thread. I update it almost every day right now, but it's all in one thread. I love for people to post journals and update them often, I'm just saying don't create a new thread for each update. Instead, put it in a new post on your already existing thread for that species. Look at everybody else's journals and you will see what I mean. It makes it MUCH easier for someone to follow your journal. I can move the post you have here to your existing journal thread, and get rid of this one if you want.

 

Edit: I just thought of something that might be confusing you. When I update my journals, I change the title of the thread each time so it shows the new date it was updated. Let me know if you can't figure out where to do that and I'll show you. You have to use the full editor to do it.

They ate some of the workers so now I only have 5 workers. Seems to be taking a little while for them to lay there second generation's eggs.
