I never remove and try to re-introduce an adult ASF into a colony. Maybe some people have had success doing it but any time I've tried it the intruder was immediately chased and had I not intervened would likely have been mauled and killed. They are so fast though most of the time the introduced adult gets at least one or two bad bites before I can rescue it. I only tried it twice before realizing, at least for my colonies of ASF's, this will never work.

They are VERY much colony driven creatures with a strict social system which seems to be from what I've observed, run by the dominant female of the colony. She bosses the other females around, even the male gets his share of her temper if he ticks her off, she will often sort the babies out the way she wants things done even if they aren't her own babies, etc. It's actually quite fascinating watching them interact.
