Queen Pseudoneoponera Ms. Antenna two:

She is doing really well and man is that larvae big, I knew it was going to get that big and even will grow bigger, but just seeing it. Biggest ant larvae I've seen, she also has a younger larvae and one egg, so looks pretty good.
Do remember that larvae of Pseudoneoponera need substrate to spin cocoons.
Thanks for the notice, however she does have substrate in her out world, will she go and grab that or do I need to insert substrate into the test tube?
It depends on the queen's personality and how loose the substrate is. Although she will most likely bring the substrate in the outworld to the test tube.

Well she makes good use of her size and strength, using it to easily overpower the mealworms and kill them.

I'll keep out a close eye on them, and probably even out some substrate in there connector tube to make it more convenient for the queen.

I think the larvae is finally spinning her cacoon, I just see there is a while bunch of substrate packed over her. This is exciting, and as for my Pseudoneoponera dealate with the one antenna, well she keeps eating her larvae.
