badman, at what temparature you are keeping them?
about normal room temp. 18 - 22 degrees. I know they like it warm but they just woke up and I dont exactly have the ideal setup
It is a good temperature for now, you could raise it to 25°c - 30°c later on.
27°c is a good temp for them, right?
27°c is perfect. :)
oops, just stuck an escaped herculaneus into the ligniperda nest. Stupid things look so similar, even have the same red petiole. The only difference is the ligniperda's long spidery legs. Ligniperda went a bit manic but no fisticuffs
I bought me some fish flakes as well for my ligniperda, for tropical fish, contains even more protein (51%)
my ligniperda layed 10+ eggs in the night :P
my lignirperda test tube is full eggs, larva and cocoons.. not to mention queen workers and fish food lol...
@Mistz.. is it too late now to get 2 Herc queens and put them together??
I believe it only works in early stages of colony. i.e. 5 or less 1st gen workers.
