She's looking good! Great pictures.

I heard from AntsCanada that their recommendation is 10-20 workers. I also have a formica queen like you and she's got 4 pupae that are close to hatching! I hope you have a successful colony :D! Thank you! I believe we've got 6 workers now. I'll do my best to wait until around 20 workers are around...

My 5th ant has come. I have a small Omni Nest and a foraging ground for them. Is there a certain amount of ants I should have before putting their test tube in (Encourage them to move to the new nest)?

The cam I am using has IR LED's built in so it can see in the dark (Image is B/W) so that shouldn't disturb the nest.

I bought a new heating cable to perhaps help give them the heat they normally have outside. Now that there is a worker, is it safe to put in a dead cricket? http://i.imgur.com/A...

I would like to see pictures of this. Sounds like an interesting experiment. Has this proven to be successful so far?
