Why did the queen die
My camponotus queen ant died mysteriously. She left the nest and into the outworld and then she started dying. She eventually died... I think. but the next day her body MOVED back into another nesting space. But she still doesn't move.
keeping:
all my queens died
got a sugar ant colony started

Re: Why did the queen die
Did anything change with the nest recently? Her workers probably dragged her body back into the nest.AntsAntsAnts wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 6:19 amMy camponotus queen ant died mysteriously.

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.

Re: Why did the queen die
Did you catch her from a nuptial flight or from an established nest? How old was she? Did you feed something different to them?
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

Re: Why did the queen die
I always fed the colony the same thing. I have no idea how old she was but she had 5 workers. Two died of age.Antloverhuman wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2023 9:30 amDid you catch her from a nuptial flight or from an established nest? How old was she? Did you feed something different to them?
