Help guys ! many of my Messor Babarus and Structor Queens caught this month are "pooping" some white liquid.
I'm afraid I stress them because I Keep them on 6cm tubes with wet cotton at one end that i need to wet every 3 or 4 days and some how they "abort" pooping the male **** out. Is this possible? Or is just normal some time they poop white liquids????

She could be sick, or just excrementing solid particles, which adult ants can't digest.

Re: HELP !!! Ants Poop White Fluid
I'ts normal for Messor species to do that, It are left overs they can't digest, since they chew open seeds, they always have 1 room where they "poop" be sure to clean it out some times or cycle nests.. It's a growing ground for bacteria.
