Nice Andy, you must have the biggest Acromyrmex colony in the forum by far now. Would love to see more pictures of you get the tine.

Ow never ever had the biggest in anything before :shock: Actually i didn't mention that they were removing the soil and old dried up bits to the foraging tank. I think it's being used as the dump. If it is, it makes cleaning so much easier as it just dries up and can be vacuumed out :)

So this morning the feeding tank had a handful of dump waste in it so thought id have a look at the dump. In only 2 months they had completely filled it and needed to take it away. I hadn't noticed this to my shame and will have to deal with this in the week somehow. All 3 pods are crammed full also and desperately need to expand, and also spotted about half dozen winged queens on the fungus. I hope my colony doesn't start to declines like Jackies did when she had Queens ?

Amazing Andy, I'd have thought your colony has just reached reproductive size-jackies colony is old and had probably produced Alates for a long time. Be interesting to see what others say this indicates. Your colony is doing great!

Your colony looks great! I don't think it will start to decline, hopefully it still has a while to go!
