I caught a camponotus sansabeanus queen!

Queen ant update
The queens are well and still have lots of brood. It seems like queen #3 is slowly moving to the end of her tube she is possibly trying to move to the new tube since the water in the original tubes are now bone dry. Queen #2 still doesn’t care. Queen #4 is dealing with a bit of mold in her tube and is starting to scoot away from the cotton. Just got the new tubes today so I will try to move her in tomorrow. Hopefully their workers will eclose real soon

Great news!
All three queens each have 2 workers! I’m so happy that these three were able to make it all the way through their founding and start colonies. Here they are:

Still trying to get #4 to move (on her own) into a new tube but it’s proving difficult with out a portal I’ll keep trying.
