In random places; in the garage, at a pool, outside, anywhere.

I have only found 3 in my 5 years of keeping ants, and one of them was not mated, and one of them was not in SF.

:D I think AntsDakota might just have the luck:)

I found around 3 Camponotus queens at my old house in like a couple weeks, the house was around 45 years old though. All of them were Pennsylvanicus, which they like to live in wood so....ya :)

I didn’t look anywhere. They were where I happened to be, just like any other queen.

Same with me and those elusive Camponotus.

Are the devs of Antwar.io still working on the game? Because the last tweet by them was around December 2019 and I would really like more to be added to the game(like different ant species or prey/predator insects as well as bigger map)
