My myrmica queen she's a treat to watch eating in her test tube (I have a secret watching setup to reduce stress from light so don't worry) Second off I am a new ant keeper and this is my first queen and prob my last because of this being the end of nup flights for 2016, and I have only found her. so goes without saying I basically suck at ant keeping at this point . (but i did marathon all AC videos so yay me) and I have a kind of idea of basic stuff but I have no experience in pre formicarium care. The questions here are what to do now, I have her in a test tube setup, and I fed her yesterday, and took the food out to prevent mold. What can I expect from her before hibernation time? Will she have eggs? larvae? maybe even some workers? I have no clue is what I'm saying. Also do I feed them during hibernation? Essentially a myrmica tutorial from now that i have her in a test tube setup, until I put her and her colony into a formicarium
(I was told by this forum that this is a queen so if it isn't don't blame me XD But I'm pretty sure she is that thorax looks pretty hefty.)
