Re: Queen update from Finlad!

Caught another C. Herculeanus! This one doesn't have wings and is a lot more passive, I start to think the first one could be not fertile.
But ill keep her for now.

Re: Queen update from Finlad!

Caught C. Herculeanus today! (Only 3 Camponotus sp in here and two other ones very rare). She still has her wings. The most amazing part is, I have never seen colonies around here. :shock: She is also very mad and pulls the cotton. Ill leave her in peace. Are they known to be agressive?
