Bitterlime's Acromyrmex octospinosis colony
I have located the nest, they had moved the fungus from its original place!

I doubt if they've moved it away from the original placeZ the fungus probably just grew so big that it's now touching the side of the container!

Re: Bitterlime's Acromyrmex octospinosis colony
Eloise that looks really nice. The set up is lovely and clean. You are keeping it very well. Good news that the ants have moved. One of the key characteristics of Acromyrmex is that they will react when things are not perfect. They have chosen that spot because its right for them. So keep doing what you are doing and all will be well. You should post in a week or so and lets see if the fungus is growing. Colony growth tends to be exponential, meaning it does not grow gradually. Once conditions are right the colony explodes. If that hasn't happened yet, I assure you the storm is coming.
