Welcome back to the Camponotus Crew! (New topic, old one got too long)

[JaydenScheepers]

My Camponotus now has 12 nanitics. My crematogaster has probably 40 workers or so. I now have a small mealworm farm but my spiny ant refuses to eat it.
I also finally found out what sp. of ant are in my house. They are very anoying and they look alot like Trichomyrmex destructor. They burrow in wood, and have a painful bite, and look alot like pharaoh ants.

I doupt that ants that size will have a painful bite, T. destructor lives in and around my house, and they are rarely if ever aggressive to me. They only attack me if I take one of their many queens, and I cannot feel any of their attacks.

I started hibernating my C. novaeboracensis colony a few weeks ago with about 120 workers and 75 brood.
I hate hibernation.

Come to Asia, here there is no hibernation. Can brood hibernate?

I have been bitten by pharaoh ants and ghost ants before and they hurt.

Ah I see, my apologies.

Either they are pharaoh ants or T. destructor. they are everywhere and are super anoying, once, they came pouring out of my laptop! Weird thing is, internet says Pharaoh ants cannot bite bcs their too small?

Maybe the pain actually comes from their sting and not the bite itself.

That's what I thought, and that is what it normally is when people say that they have been bitten by a small and or ants in general even.

I like the U.S. I think brood can hibernate, because it is still alive.

my Camponotus (nicobarensis?) has about 10 workers now, and lots of larvae, probably 15 or so. My crematogaster, well.... almost all of their brood are gone. Their water has run out, maybe thats why? i dont think it's the food tho, they have had a constant suply and then run dry for a few days, but who knows, maybe it is the food. I also got A small Tapinoma sp. colony. Any tips for Tapinoma colony? Please reply here: https://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=26784
