Gongrats! Nice to hear that.

My Leptothorax Acervorum colony (1 queen and 7 workers) have pupae too, they look kind of like your pupae in that pic =)
There popped 8th,9th,10th and 11th workers today so i have 1 queen and 11 workers now =) Some brown pupae too, and some that will be born like week later.

Kind of offtopic, but since i dont have own topic of ants.. ( wich i obviously should make when i get camera ). :oops:

The soldiers?

von **JimmyVe** » 26. Jun 2007 20:43

Soldiers is the same as Majors Kiam.

in a colony (like this) you have Minors (workers ants) and Majors (soldiers) in these categories you have difference in size to, so you have: - small minors - medium minors - big minors - small majors - medium majors - big majors.

von **Kiam** » 26. Jun 2007 20:56

Do majors inflict a powerful sting or bite?

von **JimmyVe** » 26. Jun 2007 23:02

Depends on the species Kiam, some species sting, some bite.

In most cases majors are the same like minors but wit more power. The are bigger and can take on bigger insects. Also carry more weights.
