The Ultimate Burn Of Catching Ant Queens
So for the last few weeks I’ve been looking for queens and today I caught one out of the corner of my eye. I snatched it up and while I was transferring it to a better viewing container, it somehow got out and is now somewhere in my room.
That’s all

My biggest fear. Mostly because I have solenopsis invicta queens

Haha, I’m just really glad because I don’t think it was a camponotus but I really hope it isn’t. I live in a log house. I don’t think my parents would be too thrilled to find the floor eaten away.

termites eat wood, camponotous just dig through them

My mistake!
I knew termites ate wood but I thought that camponotus did the same thing.
Thank you for the correction!

Re: The Ultimate Burn Of Catching Ant Queens
Me too, I just found out that one of my Crematogaster queens escaped. She pulled the cotton right into the vial and slipped through the hole she had made.
First year and already enjoying it!

Aw man, that really sucks. How long did ou have her for?
Re: The Ultimate Burn Of Catching Ant Queens
Update: 4 pheidole workers escaped and I only found 1. Kinda crazy that this thread was just started and now it happened to me. Wasn’t the queen though

Re: The Ultimate Burn Of Catching Ant Queens
At least you caught one. I’m really upset cause it’s my first queen I've caught ever and the first I’ve seen in weeks. And I can’t find it now. She was quite large though. I’d say maybe 15mm or so. Still had wings so I think she flew.
Are those the only workers you had?
Re: The Ultimate Burn Of Catching Ant Queens
I have a queen and with it, I caught six workers. 3 are still missing and one died. I have two other pheidole queens, but I’m not using workers with them because I’m not sure if the worker method is better or not so I wanted a backup. They seem to reproduce by budding though and are very polygynous, so the workers don’t harm the queen at all. I went back and caught a major and a worker to makeup for the missing ones. I’m not going to go after anymore. I’ll just see how this goes I guess.SebbyBC wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 6:46 pmAt least you caught one.
