Ah that suits me fine. I will give them to your mam so.
I will add a new photo to the Google drive I previously shared.

What ever suits them suits me to be honest. The colony has actually grown since the picture I shared. All pupae have opened up and the test tube is now wild with ants. I have yet to go to the national park so I have not seen the ants in person. You can get a pdf file of the ants from Killarney natio...
