Reasons why Carpenter ants are my favorite

[Antmanboy]

So I have a few reasons why I like carpenters ants
1.They are pretty big
2.They live longer than normal
3.They grow slower so they don't need as much space
4.Dont sting
5.Queens are easy to notice
6.are good beginner species

I hope these reasons inspire you to raise these ants
Although they are not the best for impatient people so if you are one of them I would look for another species

Carpenter ants are my favorite spices, I love that they have huge supermajors.

i caught three camponotus novaeboracensis queens when i looked under a board they had brood camponotus are my dream ant because i love the super majors and the ants i genral are so big but i want to make them a supercolony becue i like the thought of having security queens i.e. queens that can backup if one dies but so far theve just fought for hours on end any help or expierienses or even information on polygeny would be very helpful ty
