The Heffalumps - Camponotus castaneus - 3/17
I froze this colony, things weren't looking up for them. The queen hadn't laid any new eggs and she was very skinny. Their brood was also not developing at all. I definitely plan on catching a queen of this species once it gets a little warmer.
The Valentines - Crematogaster ashmeadi - 3/17
Finally the queen moved to the Hybrid Nest and out of the wood in their terrarium. It also looks like more of the brood has been moved out of the terrarium as well, but I still haven't located the alate brood. Since the queen moved into the Hybrid Nest there have been a lot more worker there as well, seeing as they like to follow there queen and protect her.
The Woozles - Camponotus chromaiodes - 3/17
a few days ago one of the workers brought a living and thrashing mealworm into the nest, and it stressed them out so much they've eaten their youngest larvae
One of the majors also died, leaving about 17 workers. New workers are eclosing though and they are eating lots of protein, so the queen will quickly lay more brood to replace the old ones.
I found these weird roaches in logs throughout a forest, and I can't ID them. They're very large and chunky, almost looking a bit like passalus beetles. I caught about 30 so I'm hoping to breed them.
