can i put these 2 ants together?? HELP!
I have an Iridomyrmex Bicknelli queen - which are known to be polygynous - with eggs. I just caught another one and I've just put them together. Would this be okay? I'm worried the new one I caught might eat the other ones eggs. Thnx!

I TOOK THE NEW QUEEN OUT OF THE TEST TUBE. THEY WERE FAR FROM EACH OTHER.

I personally would't risk putting queens together even if they are know to be polygynous.
