I was out Queen hunting for over 2 and 1/2 hours today with no luck. Then i felt something land on my arm and like most people i had the typical reaction, "SMACK!" then i looked.

I smashed a camponotus of some type. Most likely a camponotus pennsylvanicus queen from the look of her broken little body on my forearm. I just stood there looking at her. After that i went in for the night.

That's depressing.... my dog stepped on a queen I found a while back if it makes you feel any better?

:boohoo: I'm sorry to hear that! I've injured queens before as well. The season is just starting, so be ready.
