Colônia dentro de um casulo abandonado de mariposa
Colony inside an abandoned cocoon
New specie confirmed by the genus reviewer (Gabriel Celante). It is in the Thaumatomyrmex LMS08 group
One of the many undescribed species of the genus. A colony of few hundred workers and roughly 15±3 queens. The queens do have a wing scar like structure however by thorax being under developed and eyes being small, I don't think it would be able to fly.
We’re carrying larvae and these large brown pellets - anyone know what those are?
