Hi guys.

A quick question, how long does an iridomyrmex egg form into the adult worker or pupa.
Ive had my queen for 4 days now and on the 2 day she laid eggs.

Thanks

"The eggs take 44 to 61 days to fully develop into adults."

This is taken from their wiki page so not the holy bible but something for you to start with

Thanks I read the same wiki just then lol. Do you know by any chance what I should feed her and when?

I am no expert by any means so you might want to wait for someone who actually knows what he is doing but I think they are fully claustral so you won't need to feed them anything until a few workers arrive, but as always a drop of honey can't hurt I suppose

Iridiomyrmex are fully claustral.

You don't have to find her until the first workers arrive

I've got about 6 of them all in founding

Crap, I completely missed that typo. I meant feed not find.
