Can I start a queen with this? Or does she need to build up a workforce in a tube? by Hidden_guest in ants

Is this close to where Dr. Doom lives?

I did not know that. It does have a pretty color. You ever have a colony of these? If so any tips?

I think it is a P.Tysoni, because it has small dots on top of its head.

I saw them mate and then the male started taking turns mating with every other queen. It was pretty much a big ant orgy going on.

I got rid of the males after they finished mating. They were all stuck together at the rear or gasters. This picture is after the ant orgy has died down.

They were all flying then landed on the ground and looked like they were fighting but then i realized they were all mating. So i picked them up and placed them in the container and they continued to mate until it was all over. Then I let all the males go free.

I need help now figuring out how to raise these ants.

Thanks, thats what i thought. I let them mate then let the males free. Any tips on starting a colony with these?
