So today i checked up on my Brachymyrmex and observed a worker! I was very exited, but my mom was grossed out, so i looked at it closer with my phones cam. then i wondered the next:
1. Will the worker be abble to escpae through the cotton ball?
2. What should i do with my first worker now?
3. When should i feed them?
4. When to introduce to an outworld?

GRATZ!

1. No it won't escape through the cotton.
2.nothing really, just let them continue their thing.
3.a bit of honey or a cricket leg on a piece of paper. Slip it inside the tube.
4. Introduce at about 20-50 workers, don't worry they are fine where they are.

And could we have some photos.
Hi I'm Jack, How are you?
