Great pictures and very nice ants. I hope they grow out to a big colony.

Well, the queen can have from 2 'til 2.5 cm.
The worker can reach the 1.5 cm. The ones you see with the queen in the pick, are the first nurses and they are newborn.
The are a very interesting specie to have, because they nurse very carefully the youngers and the queen. Nice to see.

Hm... bigger specie and interesting colour! Good luck with them

[aka ant]

I must collect them next year.

Oh my god. Very beautiful queen! 2,5 cm queen sounds unbelievable, HUGE! Camponotus Herculeanus which is the biggest ant in the europe is 16-18 mm (queen)..

The queen with the larvs almost turned into ants.

And the new mummy. The worker in this pick has only few minutes of like. It's still transparent.

Very nice. Looks like she is doing a good job. And so are you.

[melk9]

New picks from the colony!!! The family is growing.
One question: Why sometimes the EDIT button disapears? Leaving no possibilities of edition of the messages?

[JimmyVe]

Very nice melk.
I don't know, i look into it.

[gabranth]

nice ants and the edit button doesn't work in the ant farm part as well

[melk9]

I wanted to fix the photo in the first post, that is repeated, but the edit button just is not there!

[JimmyVe]

You can post a new message with the picture.

I'm sorry forget to check what's wrong with the edit buttons, i will work on it now.
