@JonLewis thank you. Any idea what they're doing? I haven't seen ants interested in P. atomaria eggs before! I don't think the eggs have hatched because they look plump.

Hi Hejor, good question but I have no answer. If the eggs normally had some ant attractant you would have seen the eggs and ants together before, so it's a mystery for now. Cheers, Jon
