instresting ty i will look into that
but about my new queen how long untill she starts to lay eggs and what if any food will she eat before the first batch of eggs hatches and should i give her water? will she even drink?
Interesting Miszt.
It would not take long before she would lay eggs, if the conditions are wright. (temperature, humidity) You can give her some small bugs and maybe some honey (sugar water), this is normally not needed but it doesn't harm her. If she is in a test tube you don't need to give her extra water.
ty so much for your help if you dont alredy know this is my first colony lol but with l. Flavus's colony wide photophobea do i even need a top for my colony farm?
You don't Need a lid but its always better to use one. ;) I use PTFE and a Lid at all of my farms.
ty
if l. flavus cant find any food underground then will the forige above ground?
Yes they will forage above ground mine always do...
thanks but how long will the queen live?
record for lasius flavus in captivity was about 25 years( or im really mistaken).
na its entirly possible i have heard of a l. niger queen living for 30 years so i guess its possible i was just asking cuz i was told they live for only 3 months and i thought that that had to be impossible
