Update #19: The Heatwave (August 12 2022)
 

All colonies are growing steadily

There's a heatwave going on right now in the Netherlands, hopefully these desert-steppe ants pay no mind to these temperatures!
 

 

Colony A:
[ Population: ~5.000+ ]


Made a sixth Ytong nest for the colony

They moved in fast

I was wondering why some nests looked empty on certain days and suspected there were a lot of workers hidden in the outworld...

Yup, they've been using that wooden log as a little outworld-hideout! There were hundreds of ants in the crevasses as well


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

Colony D:

[ Population: ~150 ]

 

Colony D has lots of brood of their own now

No large pupae yet, but those should appear soon. Hoping to see red-headed majors!
