Re: Queen ant
Unfertile eggs can still hatch, but in only into males.

An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

Re: Queen ant
Infertile =/= unfertilized.
Infertile means it is impossible to create offspring. Unfertilized means that the eggs are haploid and will develop into males.
Infertility is an excuse, since we can't really prove that something else isn't causing a problem.

If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
