Protein Jelly

does anyone have any idea how much protein is in Komodo Jelly? Is it enough for an ant colony (lasius niger)

they are only small right now, but seem to not be expanding, ive had no new comers to the colony for ages, i was wondering if the queen wasn't getting enough protein.

if Komodo Jelly isnt enough, can someone tell me a better jelly for protein?

Thanks

Have you tried egg whites?
Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditiones habes

Main interest is C. Pennsylvanicus, interested in most native ants to my area.
