So, I've recently added an extra "foranto" nest for my Camponotus pennslyvanicus colony, that was like 3 weeks ago. They have outgrown it already and gone beyond. I had no idea so many were hiding in the outworld check it out:



I've ordered a much larger wooden nest for them and I'm excited to get them moved in. I may switch out the branch for some stones ... just so they don't end up hiding in the out world again. Carpenter ants are masters of stealth.

Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.

I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.

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

Expertly narrated! Camponotus are very fond of satellite nests, so it may help to attach the new one on the other side of the outworld, get them the full experience :D
