It's not I have a campo nova queen and she's easy twice the size.

34 mm? Camponotus gigas queens aren’t that size. Campo nova queens are 17mm…(Your saying it’s not Campo nova, right?)

Yeah, but I thought she was a queen because she was alone but she was probably just foraging. Well if I see the same kind of ants then it will be confermed. Maybe go to the AntsCanada Youtube channel and then, search how to identify queen ants. That’s not a great way… base it off behavior, for clau...

Hi. In late August/21 I caught a crematogaster cerasi queen and placed her in a 15x150mm test tube. Finally, she has 5-10 workers, some eggs and larvae. The water supply in the test tube is bone dry since she’s been in there for so long. I’ve been using a dropper to saturate the cotton ball in the ...

Oh, okay. Thank you.
Where do you usually buy supplies for ants?

I bought a few AusAnt nests, but it took 6 months to arrive. Tar Heel ants is good if you don’t make it too special and if you get the already made formicarium it doesn’t take very long to arrive

I plan on getting a camponotus maritimus queen. I was wondering, at what size should I move them to a new area? And, where should I move them? To a tower, or? 15 workers in Camponotus is when I move mine into a bigger tube or nest. You can move them to a new nest as small as six nantics… I prefer n...

Hello, I recently repotted my oak tree into a bigger pot and the ants seem like they're moving into it. I not 100% sure but it looks like they're covering it with dirt. I want to know if they are and if I can do something to stop it without killing them. Thanks Sam If it is in a pot, you could find...

The ant is a Camponotus novaeboracensis queen…(Confirm)

Don't stress it too much dude, sometimes it can be really frustrating if a colony doesn't succeed. I guess you could try to find a different queen species which would have much more survival rate like lasius. Also i would suggest that if you ever get some workers, try giving them more protein than ...

May 17, 2022 After 1 week, she finally accepted the sugar water, but something happened. She only has 4 eggs. 1 week ago, she had six eggs but now, she only has 4 eggs. I did leave her alone for a very long time maybe she lost 2 of them. She lays infertile eggs to give to the larvae to eat… maybe s...

I housed it in a AntsCanada test tube I feared it wouldn't fit but it did. She has an white oval (egg) in her Mandibles. https://i.imgur.com/cFNNh2t.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IDAIcbJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1t9aFHn.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3PbNGGu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nczjWqm.jpg https://i.imgur.co...
