What have you been feeding these colonies? I'm trying to get my Myrmecocystus navajo back into significant brood production.

Here's a video of some of the Myrmecocystus mexicanus larvae. You can see how fast they like to crawl around.

Drew, do you have any substrate or sand in your box box formicaria? Your colony looks like it is doing great in the Boxbox. I have a colony in a ytong THA formicarium and it is in a slow and steady decline. Without substrate, they are not forming pupae. It is very distressing to watch naked pupae get torn apart. I wish I would have sand coated my THA ant farm. The Box box and your colony are both impressive.
No there is no sand in that formicarium, but it was cast with a sand-like texture. Is it an M. mexicanus you have?
