Hey everyone, this is a journal about my newly acquired C. Vicinus colony. The queen is very plump, seeing as I gave her and her workers some honey water. They have 3 larvae, two of them are pretty large and one is small. They have a nice batch of yellowish eggs going on, and i’m super excited to be keeping them. Big thanks to bmb, he’s the one that sent me the colony. These are the dark variant of C. vicinus as well.
Shortly after I got them, I put them into a tubs and tube setup, since it would be much easier for me to feed these fast and slim creatures. I gave them a mealworm that they did not touch at all, and a liquid ant feeder. What I noticed about these ants is that the nanitics are VERY shy, unlike most of the other ants that I have kept before.
(sorry for the bad picture, I do not want to disturb them too much.)
