About a week ago a got a colony of these from AntsEmporium with 5 workers and a larvae. When I moved the colony in their new tube I guess 3 of the workers died because of it  :facepalm: No big deal, they have a pupae and the queen laid a new batch of eggs.

Completely forgot I had this journal. I got the colony back to a decent size. Currently at 8 workers, larvae, 2 pupae and a few eggs.
