Aphaenogaster sp. Info

[Jiptoant1]

For this species I have a few questions

So I was wondering if anyone knew the average time it takes for an egg to mature?

how long is the workers average lifespan?

And whether or not this is a fast-growing Colony?


Of course I will be doing my own separate research but I figured I would ask on here to get a better idea how accurate my researches and to compare notes thank you

So what i have found says it take 64 day for this species to mature. Not sure thats right i think that may be just the lifespan of the workers.

Yes it develops very fast, based on few spices in China of Aphaenogaster, never kept it before, but seems nobody post threads about them so I think they may have no big deal for keeping them, just similar to Pheidole or Carebara etc.
