Tetramorium question

Of course, the nanitics I have (around 17) are all very small. When will my queen produce workers that are the size of those from a mature colony?

With ants, it's typically the first or second batch of larvae, after the nanitics, which will get sufficient nutrition to reach full size.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

I guess second, because they just had their first batch since nanitics.
