Nice Skippy!
Looks like a new Empire is on the rise.
Inspirational shots :)
nice pictures skippy looks like the colony is doing well.
in the last photo you seem to have what we call ghost ants (when they have only just hatched) i had the lucky experience of seeing one a few weeks ago inside my formica fusca colony.

If i knew you'd be impressed with "ghost ants" i should have taken pictures. I witnessed the hatching of both my workers. Will do if I catch another worker hatching. It's very interesting, first the antena start twitching, then slowly the worker awakes and it can't walk properly for a while so it just stands up and collapses :)
Like a baby being borne. ;) Always nice to welcome some new ants.
yeah the other day i caught a formica fusca worker hatching is it quite incredible to watch to begin with there quite wobbly on the feet :)

wow nice pics of all of em. ill have to get a decent camera and show some of my ants on here :) my camponotus herc queen :P
Nice pics and 'birth' stories but I experienced a larvae cocooning itself (C.Ligniperda) Now that is something quite amazing. When ants hatch (which i only saw twice) it is quite funny yet interesting
@ashad1:how big is your camp colony then rouhely???(if i may ask) u seem to love them a lot lol......btw i'm just curious :grin:
well when i got them they were at arounf 17 or 18.
But then loads died and only 11 are remaining but i hope after hibernation the queen will lay loads of eggs. And yes I do love them as they were my first to get and generaly im addicted to ants lol
Back to topic: well kind of back to topic, I considerd buying messor Barbarus but im not quite sure there for beginners.
u a begginer then?.......messor barbarus should be fine for u really(as long as u have at least littl expirence, as long as u read past threads bout them u should be ok. as there is more than anouth info on this species so just read round the forum to help u out a little..... i have read that they need half a dry area of there nest and half kept moist or somthink....but anyway that is explained on here already so like i said have a little browse round the forum if theres anything u'r unsure about, if u still bit unsure then u can always ask again........ :wink: ...
