I'll be referencing different parts of the YouTube video from the last post and adding pictures here. I'm probably going to be relying on videos a lot more for coming updates because of how dirty their test tube is getting.
0:00: You can see the TON of larvae that they have (I stopped counting at 30). Most of these larvae were from before I even came back, and I'm a little confused about how they even found the food to raise these. I fed them some dubia on a piece of foil, and the workers loved it. They immediately dragged it back to the nest and began placing their larvae on it. This is probably the most receptive any of my formicine founding colonies have been to protein. The queen also has a third batch of eggs already...
1:01: More larvae eye candy 
1:52: A lot of moving larvae
2:58: A second baby dubia that I fed today. Again, they were super interested in it and proceeded to move the dubia to the other end of the test tube basically immediately. I also gave them a piece of homegrown grapes which they liked as well. I'll probably stick to feeding these girls more solid sugar food until I can get them into a nest with a feeder. I tried feeding some sugar last night and 3 workers promptly decided to jump inside and get stuck. Thankfully, I pulled them out and their sisters cleaned them off

It's so cute how they have the same colors as the queen like little mini mes very "don't speak to me or my daughters ever again"
Lmao. The workers will also get a fuller red head eventually.
