Does anyone have Camponotus Pennsylvanicus. I am hoping to capture a few queens this year and was wondering if anyone has caught them. If you have, please tell me about when so I can look around that time too.
Thank You

Thanks Drew. It looks like Camponotus Pennsylvanicus will be having nuptial flight throught spring and into summer. Thanks for the info

[dspdrew]

I actually just posted more detailed info on that species on another thread. I'll see if I can find it.

[AntLover101]

Okay. Thanks Drew

Are these all queens that you've found? What does the Quarter stand for?

I don't live anywhere near this species. These are all reports made by different ant keepers in the community. "Quarter" is the quarter or the week of that month.

[AntLover101]

Sorry, I forgot, you live in California. And thank you for answering my question.

[AntLover101]

Can more than one Camponotus pennsylvanicus queen work together to build a colony together?

[Ants4fun]

They might for a little while, but it is definitely not a long lasting relationship. I would keep them separate.
