WORKERRRRSSS. Two days ago this colony got there first generation, for some reason they are a darkish brown, I was expecting a more orange color, but still cool none the less. 20220918_142230.jpg
Also there little chamber collapsed a bit so they rehoused over the dirt. Colony pic 20220918_142103~2.jpg

You want to mix in more clay for setups like this to prevent collapses.

Quite a lot has happened in thime being, the colony had expanded their main nesting space and created small satellite nests around different parts of the dirt box 20221129_203352.jpg 20221129_203420.jpg right now they have about 15ish workers and tons of larvae, and some eggs
