The ants will not let themselves die they are probably eating and drinking when you are not looking or are not hungry.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

finally the ants took a fruit fly i didnt see them kill it but there was one fly less so or the fly escaped(unlikely)
or the ants caught it(likely).
still no outworld.

not much happening so less posts.
