I just caught this Queen on April 26th and I live in California. I believe it to be a camponotus pennsylvanicus Queen, but I would really appreciate a more experienced opinion. Here are some pictures I got of her.

I just caught what I believe to be a camponotus pennsylvanicus a few days ago in California.

After finding out their species in the And ID forums, I started researching them and found little information on caring for them besides that they're a hard-to-keep species. If anyone ha...

Wow, I never expected that. Thanks a lot! Gotta look them up...

Forgot to add that they were caught in a forest area in California.
