Queen ant game!

I thought this game was pretty cool, if you have a spare $10 this game is great for passing by the time and it's all about ants! :D

Re: Trachymymex sp. Journal

Somehow the three workers escaped but left the queen in there all alone and the workers took all of the fungus with them. The workers essentially killed my queen by escaping. I have no idea what to do with this queen now. This is no longer a colony, it's a queen :(

Re: Trachymymex sp. Journal

I don't know, but if you decide to take fungus, get it from a satellite nest away from where you like to look. That's just it though, the colony is so developed that I don't know what's a satellite nest and what's the actual nest. :/ And when I dug up the first time I do think that it was an actual...

Re: Trachymymex sp. Journal

For some reason the ants have decided to move the fungus garden, and in the process lost more than 75% of the fungus. They have hardly any fungus left and they aren't going out to gather any more food. I have caterpillar frass and dried raspberry leaves in their outworld. The only thing they've adde...

Re: Trachymymex sp. Journal

How many mm in length is the queen? When I've seen nuptial flights happening with this species, there are tiny black males and the female alates are really small, only a little larger than the largest workers. The males look like their body is smaller than the workers also. A couple days ago I disc...

Re: Nanitics stopped foraging

I wouldn't worry as long as you know you didn't do anything to upset them like accidentally shake them or something of that nature. My Camponotus right now are doing the same thing except they have four workers and access to nectar. I do think they drink the nectar every so often though. (The queen ...
