What are these brown ovals?
I work at a sawmill, and every once and a while we cut open a log and thousands of anta come out, a couple of days ago this happened and I was watching them, I asked AntCanada what the white and brown ovals were and they confirmed the white ovals were ant eggs but had no idea what the brown ovals were, they were in a big rush to tet and drag these brown ovals, what are they?

Pupae turn brown when the worker is about to eclose.
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.

Note though that some ants have yellow eggs/pupae or brown pupae by default.

Ant larvae pupate to become proper ant workers. Some of them spin cocoons like butterflies do.
