Hello guys !

26.06.2018 - I caught five lasius social parasites queens    , 3x lasius umbratus , 1x unidentified species and 1x  fuliginosus

      2x lasius umbratus queens were introduced with some callow workers and brood, the same for lasius fuliginosus , the undentified species with just some simple workers and 1 umbratus queen I introduced her to one of my colony,

27.06.2018 - the 2x umbratus queens that I introduced them to callow workers and brood are doing fine , one queen have 7 workers and around 14 pupae, another have 5 workers and  8 pupae.

The lasius fuliginosus queen have just 2 workers and around 10 pupae, so I hope it all goes well and she do not die.

This is my first time raising social parasites queens and also my first journal , so I'm pretty elated

Here are some pics
