I brought a Pheidole queen online. It arrived with only about 4 tiny eggs. Is that normal because I see these YouTube videos with founding Pheidole queens that have like 25 eggs.

Ps my caponotus queen’s larva is developing well :D :D :D
Ants are better than termites lol

She might have eaten some during shipping, but I'm sure she'll be fine.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
