Betsy's colony seems to be doing extremely well. I gave them a couple of pieces of meal worm today and they went crazy within 15 minutes. This seems to be there favourite thing put of everything I offer them. I'm estimating she has about 25+ workers at this point.

Aggie's Ant Family
Aggie (Nylanderia queen?)and her colony are still happily residing under the mouldy cotton wool ball... The colony seems to be increasing in size too - I don't like to bother them though so I cant be too sure of numbers. Today I put a small piece of banana and meal worm in their outworld and within one minute workers came to check it out. Here is the first lucky (hungry) worker.
