But, if she is a parasite. Can she take Lasius Claviger workers?

This is a Camponotus drone.

His ya know most likely blew up already. Probably will die within hours. R.I.P.

I actually caught one of these yesterday. Huge! But no Camp queens. Strange...

Lasius umbratus http://www.formiculture.com/topic/3252-much-ado-about-the-founding-of-lasius-temporary-social-parasites/ I doubt it. I believe I've had a Lasius Umbratus queen before. These girl's heads are too small and and their overall size. Their thorax is also too skinny. I still have her, but...

I doubt it. I believe I've had a Lasius Umbratus queen before. These girl's heads are too small and and their overall size. Their thorax is also too skinny.

She's missing her front legs, that one. Poor thing keeps on getting stuck and I have to help her. I guess she's doomed.

Ok I just caught another one. She is sickly (gets stuck to everything), but I can photograph her. Also, I got some T. Caespitum brood. Can I feed it to one of the queens? I'm worried, because one of 'em has a mite. :geek: http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt211/CreeperUniverse/IMG_3269_zpsqs8jwnjl....

Okay, I'll keep being patient! They're in my closet and their test tubes are covered by a washcloth, just to be extra sure that they're in as much darkness as possible.

Any eggs?

Yeh I think i'll put her test tube into the test tube portal and leave a little sand in there, see how that works out.

Try to make sure the sand is moist so it doesn't spill everywhere though.

Any pictures? For now it seems ok though.
