Not updated for a bit due to inactivity, but last night my ants moved into their plaster home!
I didn't get to see it happening sadly. But after a game on the computer, I looked down at my ants, and saw the queen out of the tube, wandering around. I went to get a drink and watch them finish the move, but when I came back, the queen and her brood was already in the back chamber of the nest ( there are 6 chambers ). This back chamber was the moistest of the 6 chambers, so I can see why they chose it. There is also lots of eggs, maybe some lava and one cocoon! The brood is much easier to see now that they are in the nest!
Current population = 1 Queen + 15 Workers.
The other queens that I have in the tube are also doing fine, and starting to lay again, even though they have a huge pile of eggs already :shock:
Hope the cocoon hatches soon, and that the colony starts to grow faster and faster :)

Would you be selling one of the queens you caught or would you be giving them away for free.
Well, the queens in the tubes has gone down to one. The other died ( Unknown causes ).
I guess I could give them away for free, as I wouldn't require them any more. Though I would like to keep them until they are a few workers strong. Maybe about 10. If you would like the queen + workers ( when she has workers ) Message me :)

Been away for a week -
The queen in the tube now has a HUGE pile of eggs, at a guess I would say about 30-50 but could be up to 80 in there :D Hopefully all those eggs make it :D
Colony in the plaster nest is doing fine :) Not sure if any new workers hatched while I was away, but there might have been one or two :)
I also found another queen while I was away. Looks like it could be Lasius n iger, but she seems larger, with longer legs. Was very fast when I got her! From that, could it be another species. I found her in a woodland area, so could it be a Formica queen?
