Hi!
So I'm new to ants,been wanting some of my own for quite some time and I got myself finally,a queen with 4 workers formica rufibarbis,I already made a formicarium for them and all,I opened the test tube,covered it with paper,gave them right outside of it some honey and few insects and so far they've been eating the honey and insects as I have expected but one of the workers just died yesterday and i'm unsure what happened,and if I should close the test tube again and maybe leave them and wait for the colony to somehow grow on it's own without the honey and insects that I have been providing them,or should I leave them alone and do nothing,wait for the results if the colony grows it's numbers because as I've seen the queen already layed another 3 eggs but i'm worried if they'll even survive.
