Important Tulip Update:
I had not seen #tulipTheAnt for a few days and was a little concerned— but I just spotted her on the water feeder. I’m always so happy to see her since the max age for workers in two years, and she’s over that by some months.I have also not seen the queen for two weeks— but she is like that. She has a hidden chamber — so I will take comfort in the new batches of eggs. #namedAnts

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

So here is an update on #tuliptheant the Eastern black carpenter ant median worker with pink dots on her gaster. Tulip has lost most of her paint. If it all flakes off I may lose track of her. She has been very active in the lower chamber bark project, and still hangs out on her branch.
She is over two years old and has seen her colony grow by 100s of ants. #namedAnts #ants

It always makes me smile when I can spot Tulip, the median carpenter ant before I go off to work. She wasn’t up to anything remarkable today. Just ant stuff. #namedAnts #tuliptheant

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

Quick Tulip update: Didn’t see her for a few days and started to worry since she getting up in years for an ant. Just spotted her in the lower chamber doing some patrolling around. She’s at least two years old. Still full of life. #namedAnts #tulip #ants #tuliptheant

Yellow spot: Daffodil (Deceased)
Pink Spot: Tulip (Driving me nuts)
Green Spot: Pepper (Just saw her today) -
Tulip escaped again! She’s too smart! I caught her but she almost got taken by the house spider. She is home safe. I’m so glad she’s ok. This ant will be the death of me. Why do I have such bad sneaky little ants?? #namedAnts #tuliptheant #carpenterAnts #petAnts

This is Tulip, the median carpenter ant worker. Today she enjoyed some wet cat food. I can’t seem to find Pepper, the ant with the green spot, I think she might have cleaned the paint off (she was very dusty) — stay tuned for more important Tulip updates. #tulip #ant #namedAnts #tuliptheant #carpenterAnts #petAnts
Tulip is about two years old. It's been nearly two years since I marked her. The queen of this colony is 4.

This is Pepper, the carpenter ant. Since she was the most recent to escape she now has the green mark of shame (and a name “Peppermint”) She is a very small minor worker. She climbed the tweezers to explore my hand. She has been returned to the colony and it will be interesting to see if she is as bold as Tulip. (who has a pink dot, and who is quite a bit larger— although neither are majors.)
Pepper is the most dusty ant I’ve ever seen. #namedAnts

In the past when I've marked ants I've discovered it *is* the same ant that likes to escape (and then wants back in)
That's why Tulip has a pink dot, although she's been more interested in hangin out on the branch recently. #namedAnts #tuliptheant #carpenterAnts #petAnts

Tulip, the eastern black carpenter ant (Camponotus pennsylvanicus) is a median worker. She likes to hang out at the highest point of the driftwood branch. Like most elderly ants (she is nearly 2 years old) she no longer enters the main nest. (I think older ants avoid the nest chambers to prevent disease) she spends a lot of time looking up… she has escaped twice. On her first escape I gave her the pink dots.

Dottie & Daffodil were "escape artists"
With Tulip I caught her from the outworld and marked her. So, she is less bold and crazy... maybe that's why she's lived longer? Both Dottie and Daffodil escaped multiple times and hung around the lid trying to get out. Some ants are just like that.
Others want nothing to do with anything as scary as the lid and hide when the lights go on.
I have not seen the queen from this colony for months. But I see new eggs so I know she's in the log. #namedAnts

Exactly one year ago I used "bee safe" paint to mark three ants. I marked one with a white dot, another with yellow and the third with pink (Dottie, Daffodil and Pinky/Tulip)
Dottie and Daffodil died in the fall... but Tulip lives! I just saw her.
Tulip is a little cryptic it seems. I have not seen her for months! She's well over a year old now, possibly as old as two. I will keep an eye out for her.
