https://i.imgur.com/azehfqq.jpg (Water Bottle for scale :oops: ) So this is how the ants have been since this morning. Been about 5 hours and they really don't seem to be moving much. Would you recommend getting them a bit closer? Or should I just let them figure it out at this point? I'm just conc...

Yesterday caught 4 Camponotus pennsylvanicus queens.

I've been DYING to find Camponotus queens. What kind of area did you find them in? I have tons of Camponotus ants in my back garden, but haven't seen any queens about yet.

I should add that she has about 10 workers now, as well as more eggs. I figured if I just fill...

Lasius neoniger Thanks a bunch! Any tips or things to know about these in particular? I raised this species, and it is very important for you to know that she WILL NOT LAY EGGS UNTIL AFTER HIBERNATION. This is very important because a lot of people think that their lasius neoniger queens are infert...

http://imgur.com/a/K6nQ1 A link to an album of some of the pictures I took of one of many (queens?) I saw today. So I had a few questions on this ant. 1) Is this a queen, or a male? 2) What is the species? As stated in the title, the ant photographed was seen today, 9/18, in New York, and more speci...
