Pheidole bicarinata: I love these guys, They are so cute, they have a good pile of brood and now have their first major pupae! It was a pale yellow color so I thought it was a termite at first.  :lol:

Pheidole morrisii: They are doing good as always. You can see a small major in this pic.

Very nice it’s good to see they are doing great. That’s definitely not dentata when you look at the major because the dentata ones I had were totally different from that. What type of nest are they in?

Well this isn't a full sized major, and the ones you see may be the ones who aren't.

They are in a nest I bought from an Etsy shop called Undergroundciti.

Mine weren't full sized either and were more shiny and red instead of looking like that major.

Maybe i'll check that out for some of my colonies if it is working out for you.
