The reason is because she ate her last two eggs and when I came to feed her earlier today, she literally puked (vomited) right in front of me! And because I had many, many failed attempts in the past, I had no choice but to let her go. :(  Even worse, I forgot to take pictures of her before letting her go... :mad:


Began antkeeping in 2018 :)

Don't be hard on yourself about it. Try again when you think you are ready.

Sounds like my first attempts with Camponotus. Honey smeared tubes and soggy pupae, the works. You'll get better at it.
