Brachymyrmex depilis
Has anyone successfully raised a colony of these ants? I recently caught a great deal of queens and was wondering if they needed any care before their first worker. As well as possible colony size estimates. Any other info welcome thankyou
Re: Brachymyrmex depilis
I raised a colony in a test tube to about 35 workers. They unfortunately died while moving into a formicarium for some unknown reason. They are polygyouns which mean they can have multiple queens. I recommend putting one test tube with 3 queens and the rest with one queen. They can only be joined before workers. Good luck!
With all the things ants can do, you wonder, who rules the planet
