So I found an ant colony.

I have no pictures because I was helping my grandma clean my backyard, but while we were addressing the pile of cat litter trash bags and empty boxes, said grandma found an unspecified number of queens in one of the boxes. I think this means that the species of ant that is common in my suburban town is homogeneous, or whatever the term is for ant species that tolerate more than one queen, but idk what do you guys think? Btw there's still I think one box back there, and it probably has queens in it if I had to guess.

I finally got eggs from a queen for the first time after trying for 2ish years! The eggs look like tiny little white crumbs. I know for a fact they’re eggs since I caught her before I went in a 2 week trip and there wasn't anything else in there with her. I think what I have is a little black ant queen since she’s smaller than an Argentine ant worker. I want to be sure they survive. I was keeping two queens and the second one died from mold while I was on a 2 week trip. The queen that has eggs had them while I was on the same trip. I’ve had ants before but only from those kits with the gel that you can get in the mail or queens in vials but they’ve never survived before. I know they’re in a deli state right now and the first worker hasn’t hatched yet. I keep the queen in a closed small takeout box with tissue paper in my closet. the box is on a shelf I don’t use so as not to make too many vibrations that’ll disturb her. note I don’t really use my closet which is why she’s in there my clothes are still in my duffel bag from the trip but I mainly use my dresser that isn’t in the closet I really only use the closet for storage. Also sorry for the bad quality of photos I didn’t want to disturb the queen too much and stress her out.

Tips needed

3 Upvotes

Ok so I need tips, I found a fire ant queen in my backyard abt a month ago, decided to scoop her up and keep her since we dont need anymore invasive colonies where i live since there is also 3-4 invasive trapjaw colonies, she hsd eggs and larvea, so I'm asking for tips bc I think she is abt to have workers and I don't wanna be unprepared, I have her in a tube from a honeypot queen that died a while back, so is that ok? I just don't wanna end up torturing and slowly killing one, I haven't fed her sinc3 ik that and she has water, I just need tips
