These are any amazing looking ant, I love the colours on the queen, and I think the workers when standing still have a bit of a preying mantis look to them. I have found these to be less confrontational than my other species I keep, it seems they would rather get out the way than attack. I cannot believe how slow this colony is progressing, I have 13 workers in there and have done now for about 3 months, on the plus side I have quite a lot of larvae in there but this isn't going to progress until next year now as they are in full on hibernation mode now, there not really taking much food and they are spending all there time in there test tube. I'm going to make sure I'm still feeding them quite a lot through winter maybe this will stop them eating the larvae. I probably will not be updating this journal over the next few months, but I will add the odd update.
