Moved.

Camponotus are going to begin flying very soon. They are generally large and difficult to miss.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

It's also easy to find small colonies by peeling the bark off dead logs.

Yes, Camponotus has already started flying in PA. I highly suggest looking around forested areas on warm days. They are difficult to miss, especially the huge C. pennsylvanicus flights and the size of the queens.
