I acquired 3 Crematogaster cerasi queens from a local guy. I sent 2 queens to Crystal's and I kept this one.

 

She's a newly mated queen with a few brood. She is in a new experimental nest from Tar Heel Ants.

Is she in the new Growth Chamber? How big is she?

Her length is about 9mm, pretty much identical with Lasius queens.

Hahaha how did pictures of ants violate Photobucket's terms of use?

I suppose it's Byformica's doing.

 

Consider this journal closed since I won't be able to take pictures.

 

Sigh.

Why would it be byFormica's doing?

You could take close up pictures of the queen, instead of an overall nest view.

I really want to see how your queen does.  I can't wait for my 2 to arrive.  :D

Such a distasteful move, sure does turn me away from any of the company's products.

Maybe you could try different image uploading websites. I would still like to see more of your posts.

And whoever it is that reported these pictures for violation they should know that they are jerks.
