Today I was wondering if I could find another ant worker of the same Species to join my existing colony. If I were to put one in my colony's test tube. Will they fight each other? Or will they serve under my queen.

They would fight, ant colonies have pheremones that distinguish colonies from each other, they will not usually accept foreign workers.
Check out my journals, instagram, and youtube channel.

What about eggs and brood from another colony. Would they serve under my queen? Or would my queen eat them.
