Give us more information please. What do you keep her in? What temperature? Where did you find her?

Temperature over 22°, placed in testtube 16/18 mms in diameter or tine box. Does she has wings and does she move all the time.
Btw are you sure this is not an alate.

She is probably infertile or stressed.


Hit "Like This" if it helped.

Some queens take longer to lay, otherwise it is infertile or stressed. To avoid your queen from being stressed, don't shake the test tube and put her in a dark space. Hope she lays! ;)


All my colonies are dead.

  Pogonomyrmex barbatus

  Pheidole obscurithorax

  Pheidole morens

Right now I noticed something really great~ There's one ant carring the eggs constantly,I don't really know why,but that means the queen layed eggs :D!

Also,they have mites and I'm doing the lemon/orange therapy
