I'm giving this a +1 for now. I like the concept and execution of this SCP. And as a fan of a few ant channels on youtube, I found this SCP, rather enjoyable. I dislike how you use [Redacted] and the black boxes, just use one or the other, it makes the format feel inconsistent. Also I don't know why the time to reaching adulthood is redacted. I like the explanation of how this SCP came about i.e, SCP-3419-PRIME. I feel like you should mention what the colony eats somewhere. Maybe they're provided animals to kill and consume? Which they are shown storing away underground and eating raw? Also I don't think 'destructed' is the correct term. I believe you meant to type 'destroyed' or 'demolished.'

Thank you for the feedback! I am going to look further into those suggestions when I get home. I really appreciate it. Expect changes to come based on your suggestions

I was happy to help, I'll be sure to check out this SCP again later. Ants have this one phase, called a nuptial flight, where young elates mate and leave to found new colonies. This event could be a form of containment breach. Given there's a 'single queen, i.e, a monogyne colony. Elates that do not leave, would be killed. (This isn't necessary, but could make for an interesting addendum or expansion on the colony's life cycle.)

Hi yes I gave a +1 I liked it very nice ++

However, I do have one note if you are okay with it and it would be that I feel many of the notes such as the updated containment procedures should be in collapsibles, just for the reason that this is the most common practice!

Overall pretty nice

+1 : Good concept, believable dialogue and an interesting backstory and development.
I don't understand why you have the object class safe Keter for two reasons. A. I don't understand how you would even call it safe in the first place since you have unpredictable living entities. B. There doesn't seem to be a good reason for the keter classification; they're not particularly hard to contain and they don't seem to want to get out either. Additionally, they don't seem to be immediately hostile, just passive aggressive. I'd say just make the object class Euclid.
