Queen near nest
Hey people of ac. Today I found 4 queens, hooray, except 2 died from form acid spraying each other( I only bought 3 containers ) I lost one as it escaped but I found one way after I found the others near its nest. This is an iridimrmex species and they can have multiple queens, I don't know if it's fertilised but please leave eny suggestions about how you know if a queen is fertilised. If you've seen my other posts you will know I've had multiple queens, with no success. Thx antsRlife out.
Queens only:
Myrmecia Pilosula (6 larvae, 1 pupae)
Early Stage Nests:
x1 Anonychromyrma (15-20 workers)

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

Well I found some males today and put them in the tube with her, but she the past half hour I've seen her playing with the tip of the gastris. Hope that was how to spell it. Thx antsRlife.

Take the males out. She will not mate in a test tube.
