Queeeeeens

Its official, there are 3 queens in the Tweedlie colony. So their names are Queen Tweedlie, Queen Graham and the newly discovered Queen Chipper. You can see all three lard asses in the in the image below.

Ready for some education here.... Are we sitting comfortably now children... ? Then I shall begin.

Well when your mummy and daddy met each other, they decided they liked each other very very much and had a special cuddle. Your daddy planted his see in your mummy's tummy and one joyous day 9 months later you were born.

I am assuming it was joyous, I don't know all your individual life stories. I mean, your father could resent your very existence. He could blame you for stopping him from living his dreams. He could also blame because you are the reason he is stuck with the fat sow of a woman he now has to call his wife because of your miserable existence. But lets for now assume that it was joyous.

Ants are a little different. They do have a special cuddle. But they then start to lay eggs. The eggs are titchy tiny then after a wee while they turn into larva. Larva are little wormy things that don't have eyes and no legs. They eat ant sick regurgitated by adults... Mmm, yummers.

Pupa are the next stage. When the larva has had its fill of ant vomit it spins cocoon and pupates. and emerges some time later as an adult ant... Exciting hu.

So what i hear you say, why did i just waste time reading this crap. Well the orphans have been running about with two pupa. Thats all...

I've also kinda decided that I need to get the Tweedlies a bigger home. If they have 3 queens all laying eggs the colony is going to get pretty big pretty quickly. That is assuming I don't kill them by then. I'm actually pretty surprised I haven't already.
