Hello, in the beginning of this month I captured 2 Camponotus queens that I think are Camponotus vitattus, they still had wings at that time. Now the queens have some larvae and I think that they will manage to raise a colony, this species of Camponotus seems to be quite difficult to keep in the initial stages, they usually have very low success rates.

We are almost in the winter here in Brazil so no ants should be flying now, but apparently some are still late. 

 

Here is a video about them.
