I have a mated pair of Coptotermes gestroi and they had eggs for almost two weeks but I haven't spotted any nymphs yet, when will the eggs hatch?

I have two curvignathus colonies and the eggs took 2 months to hatch. It's been over a year and they both only have 5-7 workers and 1-2 soldiers... But they are still cool

Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): ★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), ★ Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (Myrma) cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly Zatapinoma)
Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.

TWO MONTHS!? That's the longest time I've ever heard for insect eggs to hatch.

Nah it's nothing compared to macrotermes. They take 4 to 8 months from what I've heard.ANTS_KL, on 07 May 2021 - 08:03 AM, said:
