taking months for me, without heat .-.
r u sure
I am rather sure
i've had my pupae for at least 2 weeks
i've had my pupae for at least 2 weeks
Anywhere from 2-3 weeks with no additional heat in a room that is not cooled by air conditioning.
Update: 7/28/2015
I caught 12 more of these queens out in the desert, and hopefully these will do better than last year's. I will be sure not to bother them nearly as much this year.
Here is one of the brand new queens.
Update: 8/16/2015
Most of these new queens have larvae now. I am really hoping I get a good colony from these. They problem is their brood develops so slow in relation to Myrmecocystus and Crematogaster (the other queens in the drawer they are being kept in) and they are so easily disturbed, it is hard to get them off on a good start.
Update: 9/11/2015
Oops, I forgot to update this journal when I posted this video.
Update: 9/22/2015
Three of these queens have workers now- one with three workers, one with two, and one with one. A couple more queens will be getting workers soon.
Any update?
Camponotus vicinus, Crematogaster 1, Crematogaster 2, Formica francoeuri, *, *, Myrmecocystus testaceus, Novomessor cockerelli, Pheidole hyatti, Pogonomyrmex californicus, Pogonomyrmex rugosus, Solenopsis invicta
I have one colony doing okay, not too much growth. I lost like 60% of my ants over the summer because of heatwaves that I was not careful about.
