er still in test tube, just checked them now and one of the larvae has turned into the first pupae, yay, once there is about 10 workers i will move into ytong or plaster nest.
Jimjam.. A word of advise.. do NOT keep the ants on your window sill.. they will fry in the sun and all die. Keep them out of direct sun contact. And i am speaking from experience.. i lost a whole colony keeping mine on a window sil and that window only got sun in the morning.
If of course u only put them there to take the pic.. then hey sorry lol
my messors are 15 to 20 strong now (had them since there was a queen and 4 workers) and they will not move into the ytong,little buggers i guess they will go when they are ready,should be soon they are growing really really fast now
