These are the best i can do right now. I know these are trash but she has laid a small batch of eggs. I gave her a slapped mosquito and will probably rehydrate the cotton (or rather add another wet cotton) day after tomorrow. Now i hope she survives the 15 hours long train trip back home
Imma make her another journal so new people here don't get their mind exploded by confusion

Re: My queen ant journal
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Re: My queen ant journal
Yeah i guess so. I don't think semi claustral would lay an egg batch so soon after getting caught without food. I did actually start thinking she could be crematogaster instead of tetramorium (i am not copying you guys i seriously thought that myself but you guys said it before me. I know how to ID a bit i swear)antperson24 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 7:40 amUpvote on this.SYUTEO wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 8:44 pmFrom this angle she looks like Crematogaster.

If you want to practice identification, here is a great website (I use it a lot): https://buthidae.pics/
Just type 'Formicidae' in the tope right corner, then press get, then start and next in the bottom left.

I'm home! And holy crap the train ride was so terrible (I'm just hoping my cremato doesn't die of stress. Will write more in other journal)
Anyways the colony is doing amazing. Saw 4 cocoons and 6 larvae but tonnes of eggs. Gave their outworld new, more beautiful stones.
I don't think there will be any males from the colony and the time to catch wild males is gone so imma release the other unmated queen on a suitable time (noo my juicy money)

Gave the colony and unmated queen some jam and they ate. I also released the queen because it rained yesterday. She found a nice wooden plank and is hiding under it on my neighbour's roof(i purposefully blew her away in that direction because i didn't want her to get annihilated by the trash ants(those are now nesting in one of my pots so hopefully i can exterminate them ))

I've been feeding them all sorts of things. Gave them boiled eggs which they ate super fast. Today i have them a piece of sliced cheese which they also ate. I have them some ice cream too but they didn't care about that
