Hi! 
I've decided to make a journal for my new Brachymyrmex queen I caught on the tennis court. Unlike my 4 other older queens, I'm going to keep this one alone, and raise it specially.

 

So far, I've brood boosted it with 3 eggs and its laid 2 of its own. It made a cute little brood pile. Also, I think that those 3 eggs may have hatched into larvae, but they are too small to identify.

 

 

:)

I recently learned that Brachymyrmex are confirmed polygynous. I put my other 5 queens with her and they are looking good. There is one big larva in there.
