This is just one of the 2 piles currently developing. See the difference in colouration between the new and older workers, the pupae have starting hatching now. Not long for a population boost. I'm hoping that one of the small larvae in there will become a major.

Wow your colony is amazing hope mine will be as good as this!

Well I have about 28, the brood from the first batch since hibernation have just begun to hatch. So I guess in the course of the next week or 2 the numbers should hit 50+ very quick.

Lewis: Re: Camponotus ligniperdus (23. Apr 2011 20:01)

cool
:P
hope my eggs begin to hatch into larvae soon.

Population boom still going, 70+ now, no sign of a major though. I wonder why they decide and when? Perhaps they know there is no danger to the colony.

When do you call a worker a major?
Because I have 2 big workers, but I have only about 50 workers total.

Hi ProXi, post a picture if you can.

ProXi: Re: Camponotus ligniperdus (26. Mai 2011 17:18)

Hello bugsy
I will make some in this weekend
En post it here.

ProXi: Re: Camponotus ligniperdus (9. Jul 2011 21:47)

The big workers don't show themselfs anymore.
They are sitting in the nest with very big gaster.
So it isn't possible to make a photo/video of them.
