Hi all,
I'm new here. So I'm not sure if this the right section but his my issue, I have a branded sugar ant queen with one worker. She has had 5 larva for the last 4 and a bit month. I asuming they are taking so long as it very cold here as it is winter. But two days ago I notice one had gone missing and the next day a second. I can only assume the worker or queen have eaten them. I feed them every two day and water them. Diet usually mill worm, earth worm and bannan. Anyone got any idea. Thanks

If you live up north you should be hibernating them.

Sounds like you are checking up on them a lot, which causes stress and causes them to eat them?? Also have you not offered sugar water or honey?
