Re: Another! My queen ant journal

20 July 2023
I've been feeding them every Saturday and the colony's growing nice. I took some photos and videos but i am thinking I will also start a yt channel to post about the colonies (along with some other hobbies) but not now as i can't find time (school and coaching both are destroying me)

Re: Red queen ant, Batavia, IL (possibly red harvester ant)
