Parasitic Lasius Queen Journal
I found my first queen a week or so ago, i got her identified. Now i didnt know how to get pupae after knocking down a few bricks i found some after separating the pupae i put them in the tube. Eagerly awaiting ninantics. Will give updates. Feel free to suggest names for the queen and a name for the colony.
Currently founding:
Parasitic laisus
Waiting for Trachymyrmex septentrionalis, Prenolepis imparis, and Lasius aphidicola.

Re: Parasitic Lasius Queen Journal
Parasitic Lasius queens are incapable of caring for brood, including unwrapping pupae, meaning they will never hatch. You have to put adult workers in with her.AnAntNoob wrote: ↑Mon Aug 06, 2018 5:32 pmI found my first queen a week or so ago, i got her identified.
