This is my (possible) C. novaeboracensis. Previously, I wrote about how bad I was my first year with Camponotus, so her nanitics didn’t eclose until after hibernation. Once these 4 did, I gave her a mini outworld and wrappered her tube in foil. I finally checked on her. She has a huge pile of eggs, a couple more pupae and what looks like a naked drone. I just wanted to post this, I thought it was kinda neat. I wish she would work on making more workers before worrying about alates though!

Cool looking colony! I would highly recommend you heat them on one side of the tube if you are not already. It is essential for Camponotus.

They are on a cable. They havent been heavy feeders, but by the look of it once the eggs hatch they might be busy!
