Camponotus fragilis (9/25/23):

 
These C. fragilis have surpassed my expectations. Aside from being one of the fastest growing ants I've kept, this queen also has a pretty decent first gen of workers. There are currently 3 nanitics, but the rest of the pupae should eclose by the end of the week. They don't seem interested in protein yet, so I'll try that again in a couple days once the workers have hardened a bit.

It never ceases to amaze me how many ant-keepers there are in California compared to everywhere else.

Today I decided to do a picture-only update since I'm short on time. All Camponotus species and colonies I currently own will be featured. Hope you all enjoy!
