CombinedHalo467, I'm sorry to hear about your queens! Unfortunately there are a TON of reasons for a queen to not make it. Checking on them too often can stress them to the point of death. Too hot or even too cold can kill them, though they can usually tolerate cooler better than hotter. Contaminati...

Welcome back! I have no experience with the GAN project, so I can't help you there, but I was in a similar boat when I caught my first queens. I had 5, and was planning on 1 or 2 long term, but since I didn't need to move them into anything large anytime soon and they all ate the same foods, I kept ...

Syuteo, it was nearly two years ago when the mass death happened, and honestly it might've been a combination plus some stress, because now that I'm thinking about it again it was maybe a month after I'd moved. Since they'd seemed fine for the first week I thought they'd be fine, but I'm sure it did...

LONG STORY SHORT I had caught 5 queens about 3 years ago, and still have 2. One is doing fairly well, got a decent brood pile, the other is not.

What a set of chompers! About how long is she, and are her legs actually a reddish color or is that a trick of the light?

I'm just glad you could understand it! I got that there was a lot of yellow-reds and that there was banding on the gaster, but that's about it! I think you're right, we might have to wait until workers arrive to get a positive ID on her. No matter what species she turns out to be, she's a very prett...

Hi Guys, I just joined the forum yesterday when I found a Queen in my backyard. I'm from Atlanta, GA. Could anyone here identify or confirm if the one I have is Camponotus Subbarbatus ? https://photos.app.goo.gl/1VQ6TRGz2YPS1BK69 https://photos.app.goo.gl/AHuM8yasK7msbGbs8 https://photos.app.goo.gl...

So I bought a Camponotus Sanabeanus a couple of weeks ago. They had one worker a dead worker and a egg. I brought them home and moved them into a new test tube, they didn’t bring the egg but I didn't force them and disconnected them. I kept them in the dark for 2 weeks before she laid eggs. I fed h...
