Re: Welcome to the Camponotus Crew!
I have done some research on Camponotus and Camponotus ligniperda is the only Camponotus native to nl. Belgium(close to nl) has Camponotus fallax Camponotus herculeanus Camponotus ligniperda Camponotus piceus and Camponotus vagus. I'm choosing between these two countries because there the closest to NL(and NL itself). any recommendations?

Re: Welcome to the Camponotus Crew!
Mine are awake as well, sort of. I have been using wild ants as my guide, since I only keep native ants. Was out Wednesday when the weather was in the high 50's and saw some wild girls, so I took my colonies out of the fridge. Since the tube was about dry, I put them into the outworld of a mini omni nest and plugged up the cells beyond the outworld (it's attached to the nest). I expected them to go into one of the cells beneath the outworld, but the queen (Xena) seems to have set up in one corner of the outworld near the opening to the nest under a piece of moss. Meh, no reason she can't settle in right there if she wants to. She only has about a dozen workers, so I had plugged off all but about a test tube's worth of room, so maybe she just likes the open space after her tube? Her workers have already explored the nest (and pulled on the cotton, the little snots, I had to make sure the other cells were well blocked), but now they're all camping under the moss in the outworld. Maybe Xena is just an outworld kind of girl? Anyway, the point of all this rambling is that they seem to be mostly snoozing. C. Penn is listed as nocturnal, although I've seen them awake at all hours, but day or night, they're mostly snoozing. Did I maybe wake them too soon? I hope I didn't cause them any harm!

Main interest is C. Pennsylvanicus, interested in most native ants to my area.
