1 queen has 2 cocoons! The queens are currently feasting on some calcium covered wingless fruit flies.

Ice, thought this info might help you but I have fed my Odonto queen a larger variety of insects since the last time we spoke. Mine might be different from yours, but she has accepted and hunted down: Flightless Fruit Flies(FFF), small(3-4mm) earwigs, larger earwigs with pincer cut off, small beetles, flour weevil(thanks back-shelf-forgotten Kraft mac from Publix! 
) isopods and 2 species of ant male alates. This species, it seems, can accept a large variety of insects as long as the size is 2/3rds of the size of adult or smaller.
Current Species-------------------------
