Cutler Bay. The queens were walking around a Motel parking lot, around 6am.
(I saw a few dead males on the ground first, I assume from the same sp but not sure, then I spent a good 30 mins searching for queens and found these.)

Could you keep me updated on them? Like maybe in PMs or just post updates on this thread of them getting minors, majors, etc.?
Here's an update:
When I first checked on them they were curled up and not moving. What happened was last week I stupidly wrapped them in three layers of clothing to completely block out light and hopefully sound. I didn't consider the fact that I was blocking off the cotton entrance and therefore their air.
They are fine now, luckily, but I made sure to wait a few hours after checking just to make sure. There's a good amount of eggs in there.
Also, one of the queens lost an antenna. Not sure how that happened, (I can't see it anywhere in the tube), but I'm pretty sure they all had both their antennas last week.
It doesn't seem to be affecting her, I just hope there's no infighting happening.
It looks like one of the queens had a missing antenna in the first photos as well.

Oh true, I don't know how I missed that. That's relieving though.
Usually a missing antennae won't effect a queen that much.
