Myrmica queen
Hello guys!
A few days ago I captured a myrmica queen. I prepared an outworld and I connected her outworld to test tube
I gave her a few feet of cricket and a cotton with sugar water
Today I find her dead under the cotton with sugar water
Do you have any idea why?

My colonies :
lasius niger x3
formica cunicularia
tetramorium sp x2
myrmica sp (founding)
My dream species -- Polyergus rufescens

Re: Myrmica queen
Queens die sometimes for reasons unknown, but when you did connect the outworld and all, how long had you kept her? Cause if it was on the same day you did all that, plus the cotton, plus the cricket, maybie she got stressed outAntsRomania1999 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 4:07 amHello guys!

Re: Myrmica queen
I'm guessing she got stuck. Keep in mind that some Myrmica are inquiline social parasites.

Re: Myrmica queen
Inquiline means "an animal which exploits the living space of another", and many species of Myrmica do this instead of having a worker caste.
