That would be cool if they were a pheidole sp. I wish I had taken better quality photos before putting them away, however soon as a month or two passes by I'll try to take a better pic of them.

I went walking today around my block around 6 AM around the St. Louis area, and I stumbled upon 3 queen ants, 2 are the same species but 1 I am almost sure is a tetramorium, however I have no idea what these 2 little red ones are. https://i.gyazo.com/62fa1e70bd1e7b37d62611ec50f453e2.png Red Queen ht...

My tetramorium Immigrans queen is acting strange and I dont know whether or not she is going to live or die, if you have any information please let me know.

Hey guys, its week 6 and I believe its nearly time for the first workers to finish growing!



This is my first time ant keeping, and seeing these two pupa near the end of their development cycle is very exciting!

Hello everyone, its been about five weeks now and I finally got a decent pic to show all of you. https://i.gyazo.com/f4cfe150f091cedd7d456fff0428712c.png Took this really quick then placed Remus back into the dark, but the process of egg to worker has been slightly longer for my ant queens, because ...

So its the beginning of week 4, and I believe I see some pupae!

Romulus

Remus

Hopefully soon they develop into the first workers.

Its been 3 weeks now, and I believe both queens now have larvae. Both seem to have equal the amount of eggs, and they have adapted pretty well to their test tubes. :D https://i.gyazo.com/d7fbcec2f1f20763fc85b8a45b2d73da.png Romulus https://i.gyazo.com/8d10dce27d7fd3460e3e83ac77ab7b5a.png Remus Hopef...

Thanks! I believe Romulus has the biggest egg count so far compared to Remus, but only time will tell which one will have the biggest colony. https://i.gyazo.com/ac5fee38279806160664749e50ba9bc8.jpg Remus https://i.gyazo.com/d3764c880023f8eb95b3790f15a4bd23.png Romulus Right now its been about 1 wee...

End of the first week, and both queens have laid many eggs.

First queen carrying her eggs.


Second queen laying more eggs.

I decided to name them both Romulus and Remus.

Took atleast four days but these two queens finally laid their first eggs. First time ant keeping so its pretty exciting. :D Been keeping them in the dark pretty much all the time, and don't mess with them at all. Hopefully, they don't eat their eggs. :lol: https://i.gyazo.com/58c2dc95fa92587a4247b5...
