There's also a large amount of brood.

Update 9-8-2013
This colony is doing better than any other ant colony of mine. At this point they have around 100 workers. At any given moment there were at least 20 or more all trying to dig through the cotton, so because of that, I moved them into a container to make it possible to feed them. I couldn't get any decent pictures, but here is a video; it's not great, but you can kind of get an idea of the size of the colony now.

I can't believe how fast this colony grew.
How big do their colonies usually get?

I'm not sure, but I think they get pretty big. This colony is already up to probably about 150 workers now.

Another formicarium for you to plan.
By the time you get around to building it, you had better make it an 8x10 or larger!

I actually have a colony of S. molesta that I'm hoping will move to their new test tube soon.

Update 7-12-2014
For the past few months this colony seemed to be getting smaller and smaller. Finally last week I noticed the queen is nowhere to be found. She obviously died months ago, and no new brood was being produced.

I want a Pheidole species, or some polymorphic species with cool majors. Very jealous, even though it only lasted like a year.

Looking at this, this date is incorrect, right?
