Bull ant pictures (Myrmecia sp)

[Dennis Nedry]

Update, will get pics later.

The tepperi pupa has hatched, I thought it might be dead as I made the mistake of overwatering the acrylic nest and it started going a dirty green colour. The queen and worker are back in a test tube and Ferrero rocher box now.

The pyriformis queen's eggs have finally hatched, was worrying he might be infertile as it took ages and ages. Now we wait the one or two years for them to become workers

Pilosula queen has a nice pile of eggs, no larvae at last check.

Not much news from nigrocincta colony, still three workers and lots of pupae

Hope the queen is long-lived, then...

Unfortunately my camera lens has broken so I've gotta wait to get a new lens before pictures, this is an old and pretty bad pic of the tepperi queen
