Sad update :

They were doing well last night but today the male died and the colony is panicking. I guess this is the end for them. But am happy they lasted this long because other than my previous termites,they are the ones that reached a worker and soldier stage.

But I might still try again next year or when they fly this year. Hope to have a successful one too.

Thank you all for contributing to this short journey journal. Hope you improve in your skills in ant AND termite keeping. Good bye for now

Sorry for your lost. But I remember watching a video that said a new male will come from the worker force and replace him.

Thank you all for your condolences. It really helps a lot and I look forward to see a new male if possible.
