Just checking your journal for the first time in ages. Always great to read an update on your colony, Ric, one of the originals!

Thank you Andrew and by the way I've just looked in my 2nd pod and looks like I have a 2nd queen in there as there tiny workers cleaning her and it's not a solider I've sent pics to some members in hear on messager if it is a 2nd queen were she come from she's not the same dark colour like my atta queen but she's acts like her she's got dark parts on her body etc. If it is should I take her out of main nest and bit of fungus

She won't be mated Ric, probably a reproductive alate, quite rare for atta I've heard.
