[LasiusSapien]

ahhh did it again so 4th a final queen on the way this one is semi claustral have a nice sized box for her founding just got to grab a coco fiber brick from a local pet shop and i get to make my first habitat gonna grab some moss and some leaf litter and a water feeder

oh btw she's odontoponera transversa so no climbing smooth services also no social stomach so get to see them collecting water in there mandibles

she has arrived wasn't expecting her until Friday and she wasn't happy so got to making a habitat for her in my rush didn't take any pic like a noob

but important thing is she liked it put in the test tube and she immediately went about looking for a nest spot, i dropped in some sugar water on a piece of plastic and she had a few feeds from it, then made a bee ling for one of the corners and started digging, yay

thank you, from the original nest spot she has made some subterranean foraging trails also the nest spot is now just the entrance the clustral camber is about 5 cm to the left of the entrance and i believe she has laid as when in there she's very still and always backs out of the chamber instead of turning around
