I know they can be polygynous (truly polygynous) in later stages, with new queens joining existing colonies, but I'm not sure if that is true for their founding process as well. I have caught 4 of them and consider throwing them together as it would make handling them much easier. Also I can't support 4 seperate colonies.

We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.
