Description

Two queens where seen very near to each other on the ground in a small wash at night (see @sirduckington's observation for the other queen here).

This queen, strangely, has a deformed gaster. I'm not sure what would cause this other than a genetic glitch as it doesn't look like it was damaged, and I've personally never seen anything like it, so it's a bit odd to see.

The queen was observed in captivity eating an elongate springtail, as well as hunting and killing a live one.

Very cool to see these and very happy to have found them.

Description

Found wandering at like, 10pm. Must have flown the morning before and been wandering all day, that or found a temporary hiding spot during the day and kept searching in the evening. Note the very small gaster, likely used up much of her food reserves just walking around.
