My N. vividula never escaped even once. Fluon stops them very easily.

Crackers still Crakin
Nothing much has changed. They just keep doing their thing, growing like crazy. There was recently a massive hatch out of eggs so a lot of little larvae around.

Updates
These crackers just don’t stop. The queens are sheer egg laying machines. I noticed a male alate in the nest so I’ll probably have a decent number of alates next year. There was a recent hatching of eggs which has brought about a whole bunch of new little larvae. Unfortunately the acrylic is has condensation on it so I couldn’t grab a great video.

All those little white larvae just hatched.

I always wanted an ant with repletes. I thought the answer for my area would be prenos but it was nylanderia all along.
