So my Camponotus Pennsylvanicus queen was tering at the cotton blocking the water. Any Idea if this is normal or not?  I'm kind of paranoid that the cotton might get to thin and the water behind it will flood the test tube.


Been keeping ants since January of 2021

Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.

Normal for them to do this the first few days. Try not to bug her for a week. She should stop.

To my knowledge, a perfectly normal behaviour.


Um, uh, Ants!
