Really anyone can join, you just have to keep Camponotus at least once in your life.

Re: Welcome back to the Camponotus Crew! (New topic, old one got too long)
Im sort of trying to get a Carpenter ant queen, they fly the most round this time and i heard they are extremely easy to keep as they are fully-claustral and eat lots of different food unlike their cousins. Their cousins are picky eaters and i'd love for a change, i mean, they are my favorite ants and i really like them but i just want a easy ant species for once. The only ants i manage to raise are Polyrhachis (their cousins) but i dont think i can keep up for long.
I'm planing on buying a black light for trying to atract queens as in the tropics queens and males fly at night. Will the black light atract mated or unmated queens?
I've heard this on Aqua Antz. It's a youtube channel in singapore in which he tells about ant keeping in the tropics. I'ts really helpful as ive seen a colony with males (and i think queens) pouring out, next morning their all gone. Now i know where they've gone, they've had their nuptial flight at night.
This is not an advertisement, just saying its helpful and anybody in the tropics can go check it out. It's helpful because i have only seen USA videos or Europe videos saying to go search after rain in the day (partly true: rain is true but it needs to rain for 3 hours straight in the tropics, day is not true). This is of course for temperate regions but i have followed this method and thought it was correct but i had no success with it.
Almost all the queen ants i caught were in the morning and at night which died for some reason and only 1 in the afternoon (which i caught yesterday but is probably a Polyrhachis ant ). Even AntsCanada said to follow this method while he lives in the Philippines. Lots of viewers are probably in USA or other temperate regions, but he never told the method he used.
Here is my first ever queen ant i caught (this is a similar version, i cant upload it from my files):
