I caught the queen a few weeks ago. She does have 10ish larvae. She is a very beautiful queen and I can't wait for her to get workers!

Really cool species. I have three of these queens starting up at the moment.

Right now they have gotten workers. Most active ants I’ve ever kept. They have about 4-5 workers and are in a test tube. In the future I might buy them a mini hearth from tha.
