Caught another C. Herculeanus! This one doesn't have wings and is a lot more passive, I start to think the first one could be not fertile.
But ill keep her for now.

Re: Queen update from Finlad!
After a month my L. Niger:s first worker hatched.
It is very small and I think more will soon come.
(She has a lot of pupae!)
Also made a setup out of aac/aircrete, tubing and a plastic box. Ill wait until they have 10 workers or more.
Cathed a F. Fusca queen yesterday and I put it in test-tube-setup. Also the C. Herculeanus queen
with wings died.
Is L. Niger polygynous*, because I have 2 queens of the same sp. And would like to combine them.
*(Don't know how to write that).

Re: Queen update from Finlad!
Well thats unfortunate. Well the other queen is a lot ahead having 3 workers, like 6 pupae and lots of brood and larva.*** SPAM *** wrote: ↑Sat Jul 28, 2018 1:35 amSadly L.Niger is not polygynous species.FINAnts wrote: ↑Thu Jul 26, 2018 5:26 amAfter a month my L. Niger:s first worker hatched.
