cocoons turn darker after some time and end up with a black spot on the bottom.
This means they will hatch soon so ur cocoons could take a little time to hatch but really nice ants and hope those cocoons hatch soon

They don't always turn darker, some of my species has also white cocoons and dark cocoons. Don't really know why ore how this happens. But the ants that hatch are all the same so there is not really a problem. ;)




Let us know who you are,
here.
Thanks !

Blimey guys............... I can hardly contain my excitment of the birth of my first Major....... I was checking them today, and i did notice the other day, a slightly larger than normal cocoon, but did not dare to imagine it be a major, i was gonna post up a photo, but thought, naa, yuo'l only say "wait for it to emerge"!
Well i have been checking every day since, and today :shock: my eyes almost popped outta my head..... yippeeeee, yeaaaahh, it really is, to be sure i took like 50 photos, and waited and waited for her to become visible, as she quickly dissapeard amongst the rest, then as if she new i was waiting for her, out she came, in all her glory..... so please enjoy my photo's and experience my true sence of acheivment, cuz i guess this means, i really am taking good care of them.......
