Re: What's The Importance of Wet Cotton Positioning?
I love the AC Test tube portals as well. They add a nice area for the workers to get food and allow expansion later.

Re: How often do you feed proteins to your colony?

Re: How often do you feed proteins to your colony?
That is a really good design idea! May try something like this too. Most of my ants are in AC setups so I may add the heat cable to them and try this with the smaller colonies. :D Oh and BTW I have a pretty big C.chromaiodes colony I feed protien everyday and sugar as the Honey I give is depleted. s...

Re: Delmarva (Delaware, Maryland, Virginia) Nuptial Sightings
As of today the only Nuptial Queen I have found was on April 23rd and is Camponotus pennsylvanicus The Colony I mentioned in previous post turned out to be C. chromaiodes and is doing well. I caught a smallish C. castaneus colony yesterday. It's funny before I got into ants I had to move a lot of ro...

Re: Multiple Camponotus Queens
Not an expert by any means, however I was looking at quite a few description of different Camponotus species and the ones I researched all said Single Queen. in particular I looked up Camponotus Pensylvannicus, Herculanean, and a red species I cant remember the Latin but Chestnut Carpenter ant.
