It is unreasonable that any bug could be this cute! when I open the drawer she always carefully picks up her eggs. She’s holding the most mature larva and it’s silk cocoon in the first photo. I guess she’s ready to run and start over if needed. What an incredible mother.
If you look back through this thread you can see how far she's come!

5 Ways to Use #FallenTrees, According to Arborists
Don't let a fallen tree go to waste.
By Michelle Mastro
Published on February 18, 2026"A dead tree lying in the middle of your yard can detract from your home’s overall beauty. But before having it hauled away and disposed of, consider the many ways you can give it a second life. From turning leaves into garden mulch to repurposing the trunk into a beautiful garden path, using fallen trees in the garden is a sustainable practice that helps your green spaces thrive. Ahead, arborists share the genius ways they’ve used fallen trees to support plants and local wildlife.
[...]
"Consider allowing the tree to decompose naturally to support fungi and surrounding trees. 'Retaining a certain amount of dead wood within an environment can allow the surrounding trees to benefit,' Middleton says. Some fungi will take the easiest opportunity available to them, utilizing the dead tree rather than 'attacking' healthy, standing trees, he says.
"At the same time, dead wood is also incredibly valuable to #wildlife, supporting #biodiversity by providing shelter, nesting, and food sources for birds, insects, and small mammals. In fact, fallen trees are a favorite feeding spot of pileated #woodpeckers, who love the #CarpenterAnts often found there.

My carpenter ants have a small pile of "winter brood" as soon as it gets warm they are ready to increase in numbers. I can't wait to give them more places to explore #ants #CamponotusPennsylvanicus #carpenterAnts #antkeeping

Tulip, the carpenter ant is having a chill Saturday hanging out with her 700+ sisters. She wants to know when I will name the rest of them... I'll get to it... eventually. (I will not.) Though I don't think there are enough colors and dots to tag them all. #namedAnts #tuliptheant #carpenterAnts #ants

I’m doing an assembly with the girls today and the ones being left home have just discovered I’ve separated them from their queen and they are NOT happy. Please forgive me little ants, this is for education and will mean so much to the future of ant-human relationships! #namedAnts #tulip #tuliptheant #carpenterAnts
