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, 2 workers + eggs / larva? (pls don't die workers) *1 is trying to die* (I SAID DON’T DIE)

1x Myrmica ruba sp around 10 workers

 

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