Currently keeping:
Brachymyrmex patagonicus: https://www.formicul...onicus-journal/
Solenopsis invicta: https://www.formicul...nvicta-journal/
Crematogaster sp.: https://www.formicul...ter-sp-journal/
Its different for species but it should be 1-2 weeks for Brachymyrmex patagonicus to get to workers from pupal stage.
(correct me if wrong)
Currently keeping: 2 C.vicinus colonies.2 C.sansabeanus. 1 C.leavissimus. 2 C.Ca02. 1 V.pergandei. 4 T.immigrans.1 F.pacifica. 1 C.hyatti
1 M.ergatognya
Trying to get my hands on :C.modoc,A.vercicolor, and Any Honeypots
I’ve kept Brachymyrmex and yeah I agree. It would rarely be three weeks (if it happens, it would be due to heat or temp issues) but expect nanitics in one or two weeks depending on the current temperature they are at right now (the higher the better as it boosts development for your colony as well as interaction and movement, but make sure it’s stable and not to cold nor hot as to much heat could cause the water to evaporate in the test tube which causes puddles that could drown your ants and brood, whereas cold can kill them by obviously freezing them and paralyzing the them). Good luck!Its different for species but it should be 1-2 weeks for Brachymyrmex patagonicus to get to workers from pupal stage.

Yes, if it's dark, it's almost ready. This means that the exoskeleton has begun hardening, and once this process is almost complete, the worker will eclose, and move around. At this stage it's still a bit lighter than it's sisters, but will eventually become your ordinary worker.
Currently raising:
Myrmica Rubra (1 queen + ~5 workers)
Lasius Niger (single queen + ~90+ workers)
Lasius Neoniger (two single queen + brood)
Formica spp. (Queen [likely parasitic, needs brood])
Also keeping a friend's tetramorium immigrans for the foreseeable future. Thanks CoffeBlock!
Ants are small creatures... but together... they can rule the world.
1 - 2 or maybe 3 weels, but this is species dependent. Small ants *usually grow faster.
weels?
