So I caught 100 tetra queens. one of them died and eggs were left. The day before i found another tetra queen. Why I was sleeping my little brother had put three tetra workers from outside with the queen I got from the day before with another dead queens eggs. They were all getting along. Then later on that night I caught another tetra queen. I decided to put her with the other queen and workers and she joined them and are not fighting. I am now curious to find out what will happen when they get there workers with the dead queen why they have random workers from the wild. I think they will most likely kill the other queen but one when they get workers.

only one queen will remain in the end. this is the way with tetramorium immigrans at least.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
