This is one of my tetramorium queens. I’ve never had a queen produce so much brood and it’s great! Hopefully they’ll grow good!

In Jesus,
Jonny

That’s how they roll. Tetramorium queens never stop pumping out eggs. Their gasters aren’t even that big, so I wonder how they do it.

It’s kinda weird. I don’t think I have ever seen a physogastric Tetra queen.
