I caught her laying an egg! The egg was quickly whisked off, across the outworlds to their second log. They like to keep most of the brood in this second log, but keep the older pupae in the log with the queen. Possibly there is a difference in humidity or temperature?
It’s dangerous for ants to transport eggs and pupae outside of the nest, but they must feel the difference in conditions is worth it.
This queen has produced heaps of eggs. #camponotus #ants Look at all she’s done this spring!
