Update 6-28-20
Yesterday morning I woke up to these guys killing one of the queens. Makes me real upset. I was really looking forward to seeing how good my 2 queen Pergandei colony would get. Well they at least have 1 queen so the colony is not dead. I'm not sure why they killed the queen.

Oh that's a real bummer! So sorry Brad! But even a 1 queen colony can get absolutely huge within a year, so hopefully you'll see that.

Hmmm. Do most people end up doing diy formicariums once they outgrow commercial stuff like tarheel?
