can anyone give some insight
can anyone give some insight on this.
i checked on my solenopsis queens yesterday, that are in the process of enclosing the first set of workers. all was normal, one of the queens has really big pupa, the other has really small pupa, both of them enclosed their first workers on the same night. so one of them enclosed all the workers that were big pupa, and there is now one big pupa left. this one was no where near this big yesterday. it seems to have ballooned over night. check it out. any help would be useful. thanks

Could be a mojor, but unbelievably to me it looks like an alate larvae!
Re: can anyone give some insight
why would she have an alate among her first brood? would this kind of growth happen over night? it was less than half that size, less than 24 hrs ago. crazyyyformica123 wrote:Could be a mojor, but unbelievably to me it looks like an alate larvae!

maybe that was unfertilized egg. I've red that unfertilized eggs turns into male ants. But the question is why she lay unfertilized egg in this stage?

I have heard of alates (particularly males) randomly appearing among a generation of nanitics in a test tube, so perhaps it is an alate. Or it can be a supermajor? It looks like alate larva to me.larynx wrote:why would she have an alate among her first brood? would this kind of growth happen over night? it was less than half that size, less than 24 hrs ago. crazyyyformica123 wrote:Could be a mojor, but unbelievably to me it looks like an alate larvae!

In my old pheidole colony, in the 3rd gen of workers I had alates, so I wonder if it will happen.

Here is a pheidole queen with an alate on her first generation of eggs.AntsCanada wrote:I have heard of alates (particularly males) randomly appearing among a generation of nanitics in a test tube, so perhaps it is an alate.
