Tapinoma Nigerrimum (possibly pt.2) Nice big pile of brood from this colony. Unlike my other 2 colonies, the eggs for this species of ant are papery in appearance. Then it would appear the workers cut the top of the egg open although I've not seen this. I'll keep an eye out! Ants,Tapinoma nigerrimum Click/tap to enlarge
