Same as my other Camponotus journals, I wanted to start a second one with better pictures. Poor pictures kill a journal. I have several queens that I just recently caught and a colony in it's second season. Just good pictures from know on.

Most of these guys have eggs, I love how the first one has her front leg on the eggs. "Yeah, ummm... these are mine."

UPDATE: 6/12/2018

My largest colony in it's second season is about to hit fairly large numbers already. Close to 60 workers and large piles of brood. I'm hoping to hit over a hundred workers here real soon.
