Ant Nest (again) in Mangosteen Sepal

Today my Mom bought a bag of Mangosteen and found a nest of Black Ants on one of the fruit sepals. We shooed away the nannies and kidnapped the eggs and pupae (maybe).  



We saw them under the digital microscope and this is what we saw:

The eggs on the sepal. And perhaps a pupae?

A stuck ant with an egg on its antennae.

Trying to run away.


The crushed dead ants on the sepal.
