Well, the termites don’t stand a chance. I sometimes watch old ant documentaries, and one was about army ants. Army ants… just a few soldiers can take out dozens of termite soldiers… my Camponotus take out crickets that got in from my house(They come in during winter), and with ease.WarPKUt wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 3:11 pmWhen I caught the termites they already had a few soldiers (around 6 or so). Have not checked their population yet to see if there has been a boom. They don't have a official queen but a reproductive alate. Could mean they have more reproductives in there or maybe the curves egg laying.SolenopsisKeeper wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 8:01 pmOr the termites develop soldiers, causing the ants to avoid them.

Re: Camponotus
Imagine if the termites attack first, that would embarrassing for the Camponotus for not making a move sooner. Just wait for Camponotus majorsWarPKUt wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 2:51 pmI'm excited to see first hand. ^^SolenopsisKeeper wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 7:37 amWell, the termites don’t stand a chance.
