Camponotus herculeanus journal
6-4-2022
The GAN farmer I purchased my camponotus pennsylvanicus from had 3 herculeanus queens he caught that he traded me for 4 empty tubes.. I will be raising these ladies and if all 3 are fertile then I will keep one and list the other two on the GAN site!
So I figured I would start a Journal...
All three have eggs currently, waiting to see the first set of brood to determine if they were fertilized..

Made these test tube covers that slip over my tubes so I didn't have to keep them in a drawer..
