I got this colony from stateside ants 4 months ago. They have 10 workers, a few larvae, and lots of eggs. No pictures yet. They seem to be slow growing so I will update this monthly. For now. Their diet still consists of the seed packet I got from stateside ants and a few fruit flies here and there. Thanks for reading!

1 new worker. They are still active in the outworld and are growing at a slow rate. Not much to update.
