Got two queen Prenolepis Imparis with a little brood and a few workers.
This should be a nice chill species. Time will tell

Both fertile as far as I know.
The male was with the queens when I received. The seller may have added the male maybe?
Or if the workers lay eggs one may have developed. Not sure if this species does that or not.
Could be from one infertile female too perhaps

Workers will not lay eggs in the presence of a fertile queen
Depends on the species. I know my Aphaenogaster species workers lay eggs, but they lack social stomaches so it is natural for them.
My favorite queens/colony’s:
Pheidole Tysoni, Selonopis Molesta, Brachymyrmex Depilis, Tetramorium Immagrians, Prenolepis Imparis, Pheidole Bicirinata
Nice! My first queen was a winter ant. She actually just got 2nd year pupae!
Nice
Slow growers, especially in the end of summer heat. But they seem content.

The male’s wings look like they’ve been chewed on

Nice winter ants! I recently caught hat I believe to be winter ants, but could be in the Formica Pallidefulva group. I'm excited to see the first workers so I can get a better ID.
