Finally got a queen, and she is gorgeous! I found her under a rock on the forest floor. In her claustral cell, she had about 15 or so eggs. I'm so excited to finally have this species!

A bunch of her eggs have hatched, and that larva from the last update is now an L2!

That one larva is now very large, and should be pupating within a few days!

She's got her first pupa! It's still very fresh, but at least she's got one! I can't wait for her first workers! They should eclose by the time I get back from Florida in a few weeks.
