Backstory
As you might know, I have a boosted Solenopsis invicta (fire ant) queen in another journal. That queen turned out to be a dud, so I'm raising three more queens of her species to replace her.
Introduction
The queens you'll see here are all competing in a race- first to nanitics (first to hatch their own workers) wins. To keep this fair, all of the queens start the race the same day, all from the same flight. These queens will all be raised in the same 15 x 100 test tubes, with spring water. The only variable here is the identity of the queen. The losers (who ever does not get workers first) will either be given away, or have their brood given to the winner.
Meet The Contestants
Queen A - ``Radiance``
This queen has been through a lot over the last few days. Her test-tube flooded, meaning she needed to be transferred to another tube- and she also lost a large amount of her 12 eggs, bringing her brood count to 8. Despite this, the queen is doing well to recover, and I'm not losing hope in her just yet. Second Place.
Queen B - ``Solar Flare``
This queen is currently in First Place, with about 18 eggs! Congratulations! She's quite calm and does her best to keep her tube and eggs clean. She has the highest chance of winning so far.
Queen C - ``Corona``
Just thougt I should clairify her name has nothing to do with the virus,
or the drink brand.
I won't keep my hopes up for this queen- she's quite slim,
and has her eggs all scattered instead of in a neat pile like
the other queens. She's also not doing much in the whole "caring-for-her-children" department, instead chilling on the other side of the test tube and refusing to intereact with brood. She has 8 eggs, just like Radiance, but due to these habits will be taken all the way down to Last Place.
