Fixed it for you. You need to click on the button labeled URL2 and put the link between the brackets. [ URL2 ] and [ /URL2 ]

Whew it's been a while since I've been on here, had some struggles with loggin in.

Even though I did't have many ants to show my teacher was impressed nonetheless with the ants and rightfully so!

I ended up getting a score of 8/10 which I'm happy enough about.

I want to thank everyone who has given me advice on here!

I still have my Messor colony and they are fairly happy, although recently I noticed a few majors dying and I don't know why. Will have to look more into that. Also for the first time since I got the colony I spotted the queen lol, she is a shiny healthy looking beauty . Had a small prison break recently but managed to get them all back safe and sound into their nest . Lots of new pupae and eggs, so I'm pretty excited for that to turn into workers.

My Lasius colonies are still alive too lol. Not much activity because it's fairly cold in my room and the poor ladys don't have a heating pad as that has been reserved for my Messors and Camponotus.

A few months ago I got a Camponotus fedtschenkoi queen, she did do practically nothing. I left her to it and half and half expected her to have died or something. I know the species is a slow starter, but nothing happened for 3 months. I was so happy when I checked on her and she had eggs and pupae. Fast forward she now has 4 or 5 workers and is cofortably residing in a heated test tube at 24 degrees Celsius. The workers have a very beautiful color, though I find the queen a bit scary looking lol.

Around the same time that I got the Camponotus I also got a Lasius flavus queen, but she hasn't layed anything yet .

I also couldn't resist getting another Messor queen oops. I believe she has layed a few eggs, but she's mostly pulling the cotton of the testtube. I mostly leave her to it and try not to disturb her but will have to check if I can make her more comfortable in her testtube.
