Most likely a darker Camponotus subbarbatus . That condensation looks problematic. Is it because you are heating the tubes? Hey, thanks. I've fixed the condensation problem. Yes, I'm heating the tubes with a heating cord, but this one was a mistake. The cord was propped up with a pen to go over thi...

Update/Bump

I just got a macro lens! Maybe these pictures will help a bit.

Right, sorry.

Hey guys, I think i misidentified one of my ants. She was one of my earlier catches, and now she has workers. I previously believed her to be Tetramorium Immigrans, but her workers are HUGE compared to the other T. Immigrans workers i have. I think she may be Camponotus Nearcticus. Location: NJ, USA...

awesome terrarium. do you have sugar water test tubes? In my experience camponotus love sugar water. Hey, thanks! I'm in the middle of experimenting with mixtures, and crafting dispensers. My first dispenser didn't work out so well. That is the plan though. I know ill end up buying an official one,...

I had many ideas i wanted to do, from crafting my own, to buying setups. But first i needed to outfit Freddie. I looked into the types...

Hey guys, I'm AmatureAnt, and this is my journal! I've never had a journal, let alone one about ants, but i'm going to give it a try. Ill start with my story of how i got into ants.. and honestly.. i don't know. One day i was on the internet, and i fell into a Youtube hole. I have no idea how i stum...

UPDATE So i moved my Camponotus pennsylvanicus into this as an outworld. Ive also made a few others for my other ants that needed outworlds. So far so good id say. So i drilled some holes in the top and added cotton for air http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f190/Jackthetoker/20180720_1821021.jpg The...
