Nice shot! If only I had good lighting…
I got lucky enough to catch a small Camponotus colony getting another worker!

Now, since I have been gifted a colony of Camponotus floridanus and I have a colony of Camponotus socius, I could finally see both queens side by side. Actually, despite being very different in queen sizes, and growth rate, the queens are very similar!
Note: These are not my pictures of Camponotus floridanus! They were taken by Solenopsiskeeper, in the early stages of this colony
All photos of Camponotus floridanus were used with permission from the owner, Solenopsiskeeper-

I love the crystal clear look of the C. castaneus worker! Looks so cool!

looks like it's to protect the nest from being flooded.

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<.

Lol. My ergs are nesting in an AA (arthopod antics) outworld because they won’t move into their formisquarium. I thought I was looking at my colony for a second

A battered looking Colobopsis macrocephala that I saw in my backyard. Qld, Australia.
That veteran must have been in an intense battle with another colony or prey. Wow. Still has those beautiful colors though.
