Rearing Sheet for Carebara diversa
Carebara diversa are a highly unique species: a massive queen, small minors, gigantic majors, along with an extremely rapid development offset by a short lifespan of workers. Once past the founding stage, maintenance becomes simpler, but this species is still reserved for experienced breeders (risk of escape and high food demand).
