Hi I have a ant colony of a queen and worker and I recently gave them a mealworm for their first meal and it fell in to far, so now after they’ve eaten the mealworm insides it looks like this: Image

So do you thing it’s all quishy and if I grab it it will shrivel up and be gross or will it be solid
Keeping:
Formica subsericea: 10 workers
Tetramourium Immigrans: 12 workers
solenopsis molesta: 25-30 workers

lol you keep ants.... you have to deal with gross things occasionally :lol:
Proverbs 6:6-8

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.
