Hello there! Recently I acquired 4 queens of the species Camponotus nicobarensis. I commonly see these being kept monogyne however here my lovely queens are all kept together! This will hopefully be a great representation of a beautiful species and will highlight their fast growth, amazing colorations, and incredible hunting/foraging skills. Without further adieu here is what we are working with so far:

So far it is simply the 4 queens and a large pile of brood but I have no doubt that our queens here will be accompanied by many workers by the end of the month. 
 

In the next update I plan on showing you the cocoons, the new workers and I will be letting you guys see them forage in their new outworld!

Make sure to follow the journal for updates on this incredible species and please feel free to ask any questions you have thanks!
