One of the newly eclosed worker is so small in my colony! Not that much bigger than even my Pheidole megacephala soldiers.

 

I know when I got one queen from Drew some months ago, the one that wasn't working out for him (she died not long after I had her), I was surprised that the queens weren't that big either (before getting her, I was picturing something larger). But, I didn't expect such small workers from them. The worker is so small lol.

 

Colony is close to 40 workers now, and there is quite a size difference amongst them. Just never knew how small they can be!
