Re: Crematogaster problem
they might be to stressed out on you checking on them. crematogaster queens get stressed out very easy and it takes about 3 months (i think) from egg to worker.

3 months?! That's longer than Camponotus, and they're a lot smaller! I wonder why.

Ikr! When I heard this I was so surprised. I think they often prefer to hibernate before laying their first batch of eggs though. Like if you were to catch them from August - October they'll definitely wait until spring to lay.AntsDakota wrote: ↑Fri Aug 17, 2018 1:00 pm3 months?!

My crematogasters were about 57 days from egg to worker.AntsOfOntario wrote: ↑Fri Aug 17, 2018 2:38 pmIkr! When I heard this I was so surprised.
