Queen wings removal
I still have my Acromyrmex colony for a few more days before it goes to its new home, it's doing very well and producing many winged females. This it's self isn't usual for this species in captivity, but I noticed something that I haven't before, a queen working but she had her wings removed? Have you seen this Andy?

Is that your Acros away now, Jamie? Hows life with no Leaf Cutters?

Re: Queen wings removal
Right time of year for not having to find leaves. Looking at a long winter with 200 new colonies coming in a month. Will need more types of leaves that are evergreen to make it bearable and cost effective. Buying half a ton of broccolli every few days is not an option.
