Day 14 of her Reign...

This is the ant from a previous post (below) that I have taken in and am currently looking after. She's been put in a test tube with water and a protein pellet for when she starts feeding - or rather when her young start to feed her.
She's been stored in a warm dark cupboard and has only been looked in on twice now as to not disturb her.
As you can see - her brood pile is getting bigger and bigger. Perhaps another 2 weeks and they will hatch - the first loyal subjects of her new empire...
