In other ant news, fans of the carpenter ant marked with pink paint last spring will be glad to know that Tulip is alive and well, living in the lower chamber and working on a project involving slowly chewing an escape hole in one of the connector tubes. She is at least two years old. A great ant!

@futurebird interesting that they live such a long time, bees get ~5 months old in winter, in summer its just about 1.5 maybe 2 monts.

Queen ants live for decades in some species. Though about 6 years is more typical.

No, she's a minor worker.
