I caught 3 Camponotus!!!! two are Camponotus pennsylvanicus and the other is a Camponotus novaeboracensis with a deformed head. Basically 1/4th of her head is missing and is missing her left eye. The Camponotus penns removed their wings too.

 

Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that I put the two Camponotus pennsylvanicus queens together just for a bit and now they look so happy together. Now I’m going to feel very guilty when separating them.

Currently keeping:

 

1x Formica subsericea, 35-40 workers +  BIG brood pile + 10 pupa.

1x Crematogaster cerasi, 1 workers + finally some bigger brood (The worker that was dying died  :facepalm:)

1x Myrmica ruba sp around 10 workers

*New* 1x  founding Camponotus pennsylvanicus + eggs that die (probably infertile)

*New* 2x Camponotus nova, one is infertile

*As you watch your ants march, remember that every thing begins with a small step and continued by diligence and shared dreams*
