Atta sexdens really are very nice!!
Your colony looks absolutely perfect. So satisfying knowing you have raised this from a single queen. Really well done!

Re: Atta first workers
Thanks for the reply. I have a journal that I update regularly if you guys want to check, I don't know if I should bring it to this forum.
I've been updating since the start of the process.
Heres the link: http://www.formiculture.com/topic/3980- ... ed-010917/
