Hi,
I was wondering if someone has experienced this as well.
My Myrmecia nigrocincta queen seems to be rejecting one of her 3 larvae. She had been caring for them for maybe about 2 1/2 weeks and now she has put one of them out of the tube and into the big outworld.
I tried putting it closer to the tube in a smaller outworld, but a few minutes later when I came back into the room to check on them, instead of putting the larvae back into the tube with the other 2, she had placed it out into the bigger outworld on its own.
I've got no workers yet. These are the first ones be cared by her.
She's also been rejecting the small crickets she used to feed her larvae, but I'm sure that's normal when larvae are about to pupate and they would stop consuming food.
She's got food and ideal temperatures.
Thanks in advance
