Good news! she layed eggs and now she is caring for her own brood. By the way how do you take a picture in google photos because I'm on monitor. You just take a photo with your phone or camera, then upload them to Google Photos and post the shareable link. https://www.google.com/search?q=fire+ant+q...

Hey I was wondering if anyone had any good formicarium ideas for my 20+ pogonomyrmex ant colony?

I think THAs' formicaria (website: https://tarheelants.com/) are good for Pogonomyrmex; I've heard of quite a few people using them for that genus.

When do Camponotus Penncilvannicus have their nuptial flight(s)?

April–July (and sometimes early September); next spring you should have a pretty easy time finding one.
