After doing some research, Hypoponera queens have huge eyes compared to the head. However, I never saw any eyes on all of my Hypoponera. But I definitely caught at least one queen, as they laid eggs and have larvae. what's going on?

I don't have a macro lens, so it will be hard to tell. I'll try, though.

It was impossible. the pictures just didn't work. And the queen and a worker disappeared. I'll wait awhile before trying again. However, I enjoyed keeping this speicies and would reccommend trying them. :yes:
