I found a Camponotus nearcticus queen this year and Now that she's got 2 workers, i'm putting her up for sale. she's off to a kind of slow start with her colony (since she only has 2 nanitics) but she is taking care of her brood pile and her workers are hunting fruit flies for her and eating honey so I'm sure she will do fine.

When did you catch her? I found a Nearcticus queen in May and she has almost 10 workers.

I caught her a few months ago outside my school as a matter of fact... if you want to see that i have a video on my Y/t channel called queen ant found at my school or something... what do you feed them? they are quite picky and i have only gotten her to eat fruit flies and a i fed her a jumping spider this morning(since i'm running low on flies and am using the last of mine to start breeding them) and she showed interest but not too much... 

here's the video:

I heat them with a heating pad and feed them quite a bit. Their diet consists of mealworms and honey water soaked into a cotton ball. Their is a possibility of her also being C. Pennsylvanicus but I sold her and didn't get to ID her properly.

I never said I wanted to buy. You asked how I got my queen to so many workers and I replied. How does that convey the message that I would want to buy?
