Hi.
After asking here to identify the species of a queen (tetramorium caespitum), I left her alone for a month and asked a friend to check every week, knowing that the eggs would take much longer to develop into adult ants and that during that time I didn't have to feed the queen. However, after just 3 weeks he let me know that black ants were born. Is It unusual or have I Just got wrong information about the hatching time?
They didn't eat for about one week, since he didn't know he had to feed them, but now I'm trying to solve everything. Do you think this can damage the development of the colony?
Thanks
