she's back with her colony. even though i think she's dead.. ill wait until i see body parts fall off

It's never really clicked how morbid the hobby of anting actually can be until this..

There are far more failures than successes in this Hobby, unless you get really lucky......

what's worse is the survival rates in the wild...
