Just started with these ants. Only 3 workers at the moment.

That's my hope for my C. Chromaiodes, boring now but will get more exciting as they grow. They lost like 10+ workers (old generation) but queen is still actively laying eggs.

Just a queen as of now, but around 10 pupae, same amount of larvea and a new batch of eggs since yesterday. But i fed the queen several times, even in her founding stage. I simply had to get rid of the mosqitos in my room. All in all i fed like 8 of them, they were alll eaten. But the queen didnt really accept honey or sugar water, maybe that will change in the future :)

Slower means less money spent on buying expansions on the nests 🤣 This is why I like the medium sized ants like Camponotus 👍

One Queen and one worker in my colony, I just got them this summer. 😏

Should you keep them in the dark though?
