It posted twice because you probably pressed the post button twice. It can take a while to load sometimes, but never spam it. Anyways, those pupae are looking nice! I’m excited to see this queen’s empire grow!

Ants are small creatures... but together... they can rule the world.

They do that sometimes and it’s honestly very weird. I was moving my C. Chromaiodes colony and while they were resting in their outworld; there was a young and older worker who both were the only ones going in and out of the nest to check it out. The older one or the younger one I can’t remember grabbed the other one and held and bite it tightly. The next day it was the same and the day after it stopped and I didn’t see the worker again. Once they moved inside only then I knew why that worker wasn’t there… It was killed by the older one as I say it’s carcass on the outworld floor. I believe this might just have something to do with the fact of food scarcity (of protein most likely and definitely as I fed them sugars but I gave them protein right before the day it happened) so either they didn’t get enough or something happened. Definitely not a scent problem. Either way it is what it is and now the same colony is doing much better. They are finally almost in the thirties in population. Anyways good luck! Keep us updated!
