Hmm.... this might be the case , but they have food constantly on offer so ...I see no reason why they would eat there eggs . Though they did eat a few eggs I know that because they now have 3 eggs now and there was more than that .

Though I do think these are the same eggs

It could be she have eating the eggs, like Skippy said. There must be some problem 1 month is to long for eggs to turn in to larva. Sometimes there is not a clear reason why they do it.

i would understand that if u kept this ants at a reasonably cold temperature then 4 weeks might be reasonable but if you are keeping them above room temperature then they should have hatched a long time ago.

My Formica cinerea eggs hatched in 27 days, and temperature was about 30'C. Then the larvas grew very fast and made cocoons after one week. I don't know this species but I've heard all Camponotus species need especially much patience, for example in case of C. lingiperda, as I read, sometimes it take more than four months before workers appear! And their queens very often like to eat first eggs, no matter if food is available.

Room temperature is a bit low for these species, they are exotic ants so they need about 30°c.

You sure Jimmy ? I think 30c is abit excessive .... I was told lower 20's to mid 20's (best temp 23c)

This is what I have been told
