It just rained heavily this morning, you can try your luck around your area. Mostly under HDB block. Looking around, they will either be on the wall or on the floor.

Did you find any? I did not find any queen ants and most of the ants I found were just workers but a few days ago, I saw a camponotus colony moving, relocating but I did not see any queens. It was cool, the workers scouting, and others soon follow. I just cannot find any.

I caught three camponotus sp queen yesterday morning, was waiting for my customer to be free so I walked around the estate and found them. It rained this morning as well so you can try your luck again tonight. Where do you stay? If it's near my area maybe I can help you on it.

I live at Sengkang there, near the MRT. I think that the MRT may be the reason I cannot find any queens

Walk around in your block, the quieter it is, the easier to find queen ants.

Thanks so much. I will try that. Although after raining heavily or after a slight drizzle, I always find millipedes walking around and do not see any queen ants

Since you stay near Sengkang, maybe you will be able to find weaver ant as well. :)

Unfortunately, I don't even see weaver ants nest. Which part of Singapore do you live in?
