Found this Camponotus subbarbatus tonight. The color is just amazing. If anyone has any tips for this sp. send them my way. Curious about rate of reproduction since this is a much much smaller sp. of Camponotus.

Current Colonies:

                               Aphaenogaster tennesseensis (50 Workers)

                               Formica subsericea (5+ Workers)

                               Tetramorium caespitum (50+ Workers)

                               Parastic Lasius (15 Accepted Host Workers)

                               Crematogaster cerasi (10 + Workers)

                               Temnothorax sp. (70 + workers)

Cool looking ants and you've got some workers too! Had some rainstorms recently in the mountains near here. I think I might head up today and see if I can't find me some more camponotus.
