How are your naming skills so good? Dspdrew should actually give ANTdrew the cusom title of "CreModogaster," suggested by the CreModogaster himself.

What was the change? I didn't even notice.
And now I'm sad that the new video I made (which is one of my best yet if I say so myself) if buried on the last page.
But if there was a spelling error... thanks.

If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.

My apologies. It said Futuerbird, also capitalized Camponotus.

One more video of this colony. They have so much brood! I will do a colony overview and census later this week but for now here is a larvae weaving her cocoon.

An escaped carpenter ant takes an unauthorized "vacation" in the Pogonomyrmex's outworld.
It's really neat how the Pogonomyrmex don’t really notice her. I would have assumed going in there would be certain death for any non-Pogonomyrmex. But, they mostly didn’t care. I guess she went in because after being on the lam for 4 days she was thirsty and hungry. She was mostly stealing food!
Here is what happened:
She did have a few close calls before I was able to get her out of there.

I found out where the awkward teens hang out in this colony. There are a lot of young majors, they aren't needed to work in the nursery and still too young to go out and forage.
They like to sit in a pile in this one corner.
If you shine light on them they scatter.

Since I've had this colony for over a year I made a video to celebrate all of their growth and the many nests they have been in.
I decided to make it a music video with that song by "Kolony"
They have FINALY filled out the cork nest just like I hoped. They are such a big and active colony. They eat two crickets every single day, more if I have them! I may need to add a foranto extension soon to their 2nd outworld.

This colony made it through the winter with no big problems. They are thriving and have two outworlds and 4 nesting sites.
They are absolute fiends for sugar:
Here is a fun experiment I did with them showing how they constantly move their brood in response to changes in temperature:
And here is a music video showing all the customizations they've made to their cork nest:
