This has been me for the past week. All I’ve done is read fic, drink hot beverages, and use up an astounding amount of tissues. So. Many. Tissues.

Minerva: 50+ workers, I can’t see the big pupa and I don’t see any alates so :{

That other one that’s semi

Freja: three workers and LOTSA babies! Freja has been very slow with brood, her first workers were actually her sister’s children

Mystery Queen:

Still dunno about species.. Did have eggs last check but none now

Ant Update 24

Medusa: four workers, 3 cocooned pupae, one young pupa

other Campo: 4 brown-ish eggs, worrysome but I will wait

Freja: three pupae one large egg-small larva. One child gone, casualties were expected

Cleopatra: eggs-small larvae, I am concerned given that it has been 7 months and Nefertiti, within two months, has almost surpassed her development

Nefertiti: eggs-larvae, active

Aphrodite: Recently been foraging, previously seen larva

Sister queens: Queen still inactive, non-responsive, possibly dead though no curl, sister very protective over her, dragging her further into the tube with eggs very carefully

Monomoriums: eggs gone, may have been eaten or died on their own

today’s meal was beef mince and honey
