My caponotus queen had been tugging at her pupae. The next day, the pupae had dissapeared and all was left was this white stuff. The eggs and larvae had not been affected.
Ants are better than termites lol

It seems the queen ate the pupae. Have you been disturbing her much? If not, try giving her a very small drop of honey.
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.
