The pupa are starting to darken, and I suspect they should be hatching within a few days! My first workers of the season!  :D

It is so funny my 7 queen colony is in alignment with yours haha  :lol:  I just checked today and I have some pupa ready to hatch maybe within a week.

 

Nice! The first worker of my colony should hatch in a day or two.

I would move them into something now. It’s not going to be the most fun whenever you have 200 aggressive ants running around when move them.

I am going to probably move mine into a mini bead box formicarium once 20-30 workers enclose.

Don't worry, I'm gonna move them into their new formicarium tomorrow once I get it all cleaned out.

I ended up releasing them, as after I got home from vacation in the Florida Keys, they had a huge mold outbreak, and I figured it was more trouble than it was worth. I captured more queens, and I have at least 15 now, most of them separate or in pairs. Ant_Dude is right though, I did move over to my main journal.
