I think it's safe to say they're new, if eggs get that old there's something wrong. :P
insanebe - perhaps warming them up is worth a try?
Liqniperda lives also in north europe (Finland, sweden, norway), and they tend to keep their brood in the warmer parts of their nests and to live in the cooler parts. I don't think high temperatures are essential for this species but they do take the advantage of faster development if they are given the choice.

not in winter : [-X
It seems my colony is still in hibernation. I've seen very little activity from them since I last posted. I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong?
I doubt your gonna see anything happen untill at least the end of Feb.. So i wouldnt worry..
Thats good news, I guess they woke up for alittle snack then decided to go back to sleep.

My Camponotus ligniperda have already woken up... The queen had laid eggs already and they were accepting cockroaches so I warmed mine up again. I keep these rather hot for European ants: 28-30 C (usually 30). They develop a lot faster like this. Mine started laying eggs 2 weeks ago and I already have a lot of larvae, including some bigger ones.
Also, my C. ligniperda does not like field crickets, but they do like Dubia cockroaches (I breed these myself: Blaptica dubia) as a protein source, perhaps you should try them too?
Very nice to hear that Mike, these ants are much harder than most people think.
Hey Guys,
I think my colony has woken up too? I've seen daily activity, they're cleaning the test tube and gathering sand at the entrance.
I'm stilll wondering what to feed them, they've eaten some fruit but I haven't seen them eat blood worms or wax worms.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense I'm on prescripton drugs #-o
Regards,
Dave
