I would like to find some more, even though mine is doing so well, with a 11 eggs and all.

Hello my dude I believe that they can still have nuptial flights some nest may be ate however I doubt very seriously that the same colony will have another flight. Good luck with them they are really interesting to keep mine are just now into the cocoon stage so I will have a few workers very soon

I think now that it is very unlikely that C. pennsylvanicus would have another nuptial flight, yet I found another Camponotus queen that I believe is C. herculeanus or C. novaboracensis. So I don't really care about C. pennsylvanicus flights anymore. Thanks for the help!AntDudeUSA wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 12:32 pmHello my dude I believe that they can still have nuptial flights some nest may be ate however I doubt very seriously that the same colony will have another flight.

In northern regions, Camponotus will be flying off and on until the end of July. Sometimes they even fly in the fall.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Found another C. pennsylvanicus queen, so that answers my question!
