Ant friends

Hello, lavender has not done anything interesting so today I’m going to post about 3 new members of the pet journal. Welcome our first one, my bullet ant queen, the dark embers empress. She has a few eggs and she is definitely very active and aggressive.

Coming up next, please give way to my second one, my marauder ant queen, the black empress.This one is a huge tank full of eggs. She just fits perfectly into my test tube. She laid a huge clutch of eggs at the beginning.
 
Last but not least, welcome another marauder ant queen to this blog. She is the titanic army empress. She immediately shed her wings after I collected her. She too has a hoard of eggs.
    Let me share the story behind how I got them. 
After my athletics class, I happened to see many dried up and dehydrated queen ants on the floor. I only spotted two bullet ant survivors. I released one to let nature take its course and rescued the more vulnerable one in a test tube.
   The next week, again after my athletics class, super huge ants started to crash in the gallery. Invasive yellow crazy ants were ripping them to pieces. My single test tube was too small for them to fit. Luckily, after last week’s mission, some former members of my atheletics ant club had brought boxes to catch them. I caught two of the marauder ants and released another survivor into the forest. In a nutshell, this is how I got to own these amazing species.

                      See you next time when something interesting happens
