Hello everybody,
yesterday I observed them caring for their brood - and they have a lot.
Ants kissing!
Over the night they put some substrate from the outworld into the tube, probably to support the larvae with spinning the cocoons.
Another reason might be to cover the remnants of the sugar water they got earlier.
I'm looking for some ants.
There! A little black spot!
That's the first time I have seen a worker outside of the tube!
