On Thursday, November 9th, the weirdest thing happened. I noticed a black thing resting on my bed. Upon closer inspection, it was a Crematogaster queen! After quickly collecting her, I placed the queen into a test tube nest. I then looked at my other two Crematogasters to make sure both were in their nests, which they were. Now that I knew that the new queen wasn’t an escapee, I became even more confused. How did she get in? Why did she end up on my bed? Will she give rise to a successful colony? Who knows!
