Since then the larva did grow than it vanished my guess was it was eaten.
Anouther larva has grown very large and is now nearly as big as the queen with no sign of pupateing and the rest are now catching up in size.At the moment she will only exept the invert sugar that i have recieved from antstore and it seems she will not touch eneything else.
She is scared of the crickets i put in and eney other insects even though they have been cut in half and are not moving.

The queen didnt touch the fly but has eaten some invert sugar as of yet there are no new eggs layed i hope she does have some more

The queen has still layed no eggs and now doesent move alot so i am hoping she pulls through

Sadly my queen did die she didnt lay eney replacment eggs and she finally gave up taking sugar water she wouldent touch the flys i put in and so i think she never had protiens to lay.
