Acromyrmex vesicolor got their first workers today. They laid their first eggs on 09/07-08 and first workers eclosed 10/18. Many more workers are close to eclosing so expect their population to jump in the next week or two. One colony (3 queens) is doing much better than the other two. They all have pupae though so just to show how queens differ greatly in terms of how many workers they rear in their first batch of nanitics.
