I caught my second messor queen yesterday (The first escaped from her tube :cry: ) she is in a testbed for a day now and is still pulling cotton. Is it that the tube is too humid?

How often you looking at her, more than once a week will cause them to stress.
With all the things ants can do, you wonder, who rules the planet :?

I checked 2 times in 2 days to make sure she is fine but I will leave her alone now.
