Hmm...only one antenna? Dont you think this harm her too much? Do you talk about that with Antstore?
I don't think one missing antenna will be a problem. If she doesn't eat, or lay eggs then tell antstore.

nor do i,unless if there does become a noticerble constant problem with your queen then tell antsore like damond said!!!(dogey queen) :thumright:
hope u dont mind me shorterning your name damondeionno because its rather long lol :-
Fine to hear your new ants arrived. ;) If it looks like she is not having a problem with the one antenna she will be fine.
Good luck with your new colony.
Just a thought is Pheidole pallidula a good ant to get as a second colony or should you have a fair bit of experience first ??
LOL im a little ambitious.. and would very much love a second colony on the go.. preferabily one that does not have to hibernate..

Yeah they do. They are south European ant and so they have a small hibernation....

exotic Campontus species are a good place to start for non-hibernating species, they are relativly easy to look after, but u do need sum experience, and being able to create a stable (temp/humidity) for them is vital
If your considering it, then i'd recomend u create a nest well in advance, and check its vitals reguly so u know what to change and can get it stable for the ants to move into :)

There are many :lol:
Like miszt say some Camponotus. But there are Polyrhachis, too. Easy to keep, dont need much (only after some time: more basins ^^ ) and looks very nice ;)
Maybe thats another opinion for you :grin:
having an antenna missing wont harm her in anyway with one she can still communicate with her daughters and egg laying will certainly not be affected like you have said. One of my lasius niger queens had two legs missing and this didn't stop her doing what she usually did in anyway.
