Parasitic queen?
How can I tell if a queen is parasitic? Idk if one of mine is becuase the eggs that she lays don’t hatch and I know that she’s mated.
Keeping:
Formica subsericea: 10 workers
Tetramourium Immigrans: 12 workers
solenopsis molesta: 25-30 workers

Parasitic species don't lay eggs until they have host workers.
