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.

It did not work, you could try imgur. She could be fertile, it just depends on if she had already mated with other males.loveants1341 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 27, 2022 10:41 pmhttps://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipPB3x69wCBhVMJf_E6zra0T1URGRiHiCKbjgVL2

hope that works and a queen ant have to mate with more then one male ? so i hope she did then and if the picture works should i put food in the test tube ? also is the only way to know if she is ferfile is to wait for 7 days to see if she lays eggs close to each other and if she seems to care for them ? or is there a different way to tell

I don't know what she is but it worked. Yes, queens normally mate with more than one male. No, you don't need to feed her.loveants1341 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 10:42 amantperson24 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 8:38 amIt did not work, you could try imgur.

Re: new queen ant w/ out pics help ?
ok ill see if i can ask someone else to see if they know on here and i got the springtales im going to leave them in there for about 1 hr then ill put water in there and get about 25 of them in with the ants and ok i was thinking so to not put food in there with the new queen and once the eggs hatch if the new queen lays eggs if they hatch should i put springtales in the test tube ?loveants1341 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 10:42 amantperson24 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 8:38 amIt did not work, you could try imgur.

Crematogaster, queens typically overwinter before laying eggs.
