Hey Steve,
I know its nearly been a year but I was wondering if your queen made it?

hi guys long time no talk i almost stopped keeping ants for a while but im going get back into it i think.
similar story to steve started with 3 workers about a year ago, maxed out at 5 workers,random deaths, then they all started slowley dieing off, now i have none and the queen has no eggs or larvae. i tried feeding her a few insects but not interested, made a fresh test tube for her and gave some honey which i saw her eating, is there any hope?

i would pay good money for some cocoons or something but i doubt that will ever happen seeing as no-one on here has a large enough colony to start taking them away.

i wish antstore had some large colonies in stock.

weel ratgreen ive got a colony of around 200 workers of liniperda for about 2 years now. they are verry agressive and live in a y tong. i have some caccons if u want but the queen doesnt nomrally accept them.

These species are hard to keep, i had them myself for a few months, but no good results. Everywhere i read about them its seems like people have a hard time keeping them. Moxi if you have any good help how to keep them or post pics of the setup you keep them, i think that can help a lot of people.
