The queen was caught in Oklahoma City on May 24. The ants are jumpy and not aggressive from what I have seen. They don't like honey which is weird (or I find it weird LOL). Their numbers aren't exploding like what you would see in Solenopsis Invicta and they seem too small for Camponotus. Their numbers are around 25-30 right now. I kept them in the test tube and just pushed a small piece of a drinking straw through the cotton and I placed the food by it. I found it too hard the keep them contained in the test tube when feeding. I did get a major which is in the pictures Those are normal meal worms and not super worms. The queen is just a little bigger than the major. Can't get a picture of her without all the ants scattering and hiding including her. I need to find out what they are so I am able to know which AC Hybrid nest I need to buy.
Thank you for your time and I hope I am right
