After that worker has been sent, the other two will see if the intruder left a pheromonal trail. Send one worker to re-assign the construction ants to close the entryways, if they are not part of our design. If found, find out where the intruder got in and/or out.

Search the nest for signs of passage by foreign ants. If It's A Slave Making Ant We Are So Dead

If it's a trail from slave-making ants we are going to get raided and will need to flee our nest or else have our queen be slain and our offspring stolen and enslaved.īut, since a larva was stolen and only a single larva, a thief ant is the most likely. If we do find pheromones, we need to a) erase the trail, b) while following it to its source. In such a case, we need to inspect how our nest is constructed to a) find pheromones, b) close entryways, c) find out how many entryways remain so that we can have a better knowledge of the # of necessary guards. In both cases, the most likely situation is an ant coming into our nest from the outside. There are two possibilities: slave-making ants Slave-making ant - Wikipedia (awful) and thief ants (not that bad). Larva got stole, so something got in our nest somehow. Larvae are eating a lot of food but we still have kind of high food supply. Granary still under construction and needs some people. Only need 1 worker to tend eggs/larva - (?) same # of workers needed for larva, right? - thx to nursery.
