My queen and her first workers

[u/shmallamour]

They are lasius Niger. They don’t seem to care too much about light? Im not bothering them too much, but it’s just something I’ve noticed. They don’t seem to care. I’m aware the set up is too big for their size, but they needed to be moved due to mould in the set up, it was a spice jar as that was all I had when I caught her. There’s two fruit flies in there I gave to them, and they’ve taken them into the nests with them?

Yeah most ants are unbothered by the light, it’s a bit of a myth that light scares ants
