So... I... I uhhh accidentally dehydrated this colony along with my large Crematogaster sp.1 colony.

The colony went from the queen, ~1200 workers, and ~300 brood to the queen, ~30 workers, and ~50 brood. The queen has laid eggs since the disaster so I do not think she is damaged, and I do believe and hope this colony will bounce back.

The colony is starting to make its comeback now. I need to start thinking of a formicarium design with an easy hydration system so I do not dehydrate them again. :lol:
