There are about 40 workers now, 7 queens and a good amount of brood.

My nanitics are so tiny as well lol. I forgot if my P. californicus nanitics were this small but I think these are smaller.

Have you been stung yet.?

Haha no and I plan on keeping it that way!

Keep them away from your nipples. Speaking from personal experience.

Update: guesstimate since the glass is dirty, about 80-100 ants.

it’s feeding time

Dropped a cut up cricket in the outworld.



So tiny! Here’s a dime for comparison.

[YsTheAnt]

Wow! That's a lot of ants. Counted at least 40 in the outworld alone .

Haha yeah I lied and said 80-100 because I got lazy after counting 80. Easily way over 100.

[nurbs]

Yeah, mine also make a mess on the glass. They are also in a Fortress, but might move them to a 4 test tube setup just for visibility.

update:

 

I couldn't see ANYTHING! the glass on my fortress nest was all covered in poop, so i wanted to get a nest with the glass on top so i could look in. I bought a THA Labyrinth Nest. Nurbs informed me poop would be deposited on the glass nonetheless. I went to target and bought a $3 5x7 picture frame and made a second glass cover with magnets as a replacement. In the future I plan on chilling the nest and then quickly replacing the glass when i can't see in. 

 

i have no idea how many workers there are, but there are a lot! can you count? or guess? 

 

enjoy!

 

here is the old nest, before and after i transferred the colony out.

with glass

 

without glass

 

New nest and replacement glass

 

connected to new THA labyrinth nest.

one of the queens stayed out for too long, worker taking it back into the nest

I HAVE ALATES!!! It’s has been less than a year!



This is what happens when you don’t give your ants water in a long time.

They drink all the water you pour into the outworld.

no, i didn't wait 30 days. i was in fact too weak.

update, another queen died. we have 7 queens left but also 4 nanitics!!

but I also have some unwanted guests. not sure where these little bugs came from, but I also don't have an idea as to what they are.
