Hey guys,
I figured i'd try again. I didnt want to disturb the other 2, and this one hasnt lain any eggs, so i took her out for a photo shoot and to get her a new, clean setup. These pics are the best ive ever taken! Hope i can get an answer as to what these are exactly. Thanks
Location: Jackson, New Jersey, USA
Found: 5/20/18 noon
Length: Maybe just a little over half and inch

Camponotus pennsylvanicus, assuming they are all solid black.

I made them out of bubble wands from wal-mart. The queens were large, so i needed large tubes.
Rinsed them a few times, then boiled them twice for a minute or so. I also cut the tops off, or else i would not have been able to get the water and cotton in.
This is the bubble wand tube compared to my "standard" 16x150mm tubes i use.
