Lasius Niger setup changed, outworld added.

 So, when I am doing hobby things I often forget 2 things..

1. Time...
2. Taking photos...

What happened...

Queen moved from the funky tube-setup she came in to a fresh test-tube setup.
I left the dark cover off the old tube and put it on the new one overnight, so slowly increasing light intensity from the rising sun would be the 1st (indirect) light they saw. When I woke up they had moved to the clean new tube.

Hooked it all up and here it is...

Yes, the test-tube is under the dark cover (microfiber black sun-glasses cover sack thingy.)

Unveiling the Secrets of Pain: How Ants' Stings Teach Us about Nerve Cells

 Have you ever been stung by an ant and experienced excruciating pain that seemed to last forever? Well, researchers at the University of Queensland have made an amazing discovery about some of the world's most painful ant stings. They found that these stings target our nerves, similar to how snake and scorpion venom work. This groundbreaking research, recently published in the scientific journal Nature Communications, provides new insights into understanding pain and developing innovative ways to treat it. Understanding the Study: Led by Dr. Sam Robinson and his colleagues at UQ's Institute for Molecular Bioscience, the research focused on two ant species: the Australian green ant and the South American bullet ant. These ants are known for their stings that cause prolonged pain, unlike the brief discomfort of a bee sting. How Ant Venoms Affect Nerves: Through their study, the researchers discovered that ant venoms specifically target the nerve cells responsible for transmittin...
