Maybe it was like buying Camponotus discolor, you don’t know if you’re going to get discolor or the sub species.
C. decipiens is not a subspecies of C. discolor.

The meme thread is certainly not dead.
Oh, sorry, just checked...I guess I just don't read it. Why am I so slow
Also, sorry for cutting off the conversation about the species

Been keeping ants since January of 2021
Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.
Please do not clutter the journal up. Thank you!

Have you managed to block of where they're escaping? Did a lot of workers escape or just a few?

Yeah It's fine now. At one point there was like 1 worker per sq. foot of my room.

Photo dump: Also, they have moved into the other nest and tubing, but are using the AC nest as a garbage dump, so should I remove it?

Can I see a pic of the queen? If you don know the species, a queen pic would help. It could be C.modoc?

Update: The queens have been super busy laying eggs lately, I suspect the heating has been helping. I give them like 2 mealworms a day, and they completely BODY 2 of the biggest mealworms I have, seems like they are always hungry!

As you can see they use the tubing as a satellite nest, bright future for these guys!

Hopefully, no mites are introduced… or else the future may be further…
Oh no it is okay, I freeze the mealworms before I feed it to the ants
