They've all moved, and I'm pretty sure they are all accounted for :) nice healthy brood, and plenty of workers, until I have redone the ytong I wont know whether the Queen is ok, because the current glass on their tempory nest isnt clear enough to see thru, but I'm pretty sure she is, they moved quickly

wow nice one, the nasty thing is the way you can see the hairs on the larvea because there really thick and creepy lol. i still love em though.

What are purpous of the hairs on the larvae?

ratgreen: (5. Jun 2008 17:13)

so they hook onto each other and one ant can carry many larvea at once.

Spore: (5. Jun 2008 17:44)

Oh i see. But what i can't see is the hairs on my species i have. Do they only have hairs on some species?
By the way, is it harder to keep the ants above than other easy ants to keep (e.g Camponotus Ligniperda).
