i caught this queen around october 2014, and she now has a rather large brood pile. this is my first entry so there will be quite a few pictures. she also is the first fully claustral queen i've seen actually go banana's over formula blue 100 while not having any workers.

this queen has yet to have any eggs develop. i constantly see new eggs and the pile moves. however i'm losing hope for a colony from this queen as well as my myrmica.
