Young female ants of the genus Lasius, surrounded by an es**rt of workers, are preparing for their nuptial flight.

Workers of the genus Myrmica (presumably Myrmica rubra) are dragging winged males and females back into the nest. This behavior can be attributed to several factors. Most likely, it serves as a mechanism to prevent intranidal mating (inbreeding) among related individuals. Another reason could be that the workers are "canceling" the flight due to unfavorable weather conditions, protecting these valuable reproductives and forcing them to wait for a massive nuptial flight to encounter partners from other colonies.

The Camponotus herculeanus colony is developing very well. After moving to a new spacious nest, a lot of brood appeared at different stages. The appearance of larger ants from the soldier caste significantly embellished these beautiful ants. 😍😍😍
