Re: Recently obtained colony can someone ID?
Camponotus planatus I don't mean to doubt your expertise but are you sure? :| I've really never seen any Carpenter ants like those. Usually bigger and have more red in their coloring. Also, if it is that, what conditions and meals do you recommend? For example, wet or dry conditions? I also occasio...
