Camponotus hurculeanus   My first queen.  Named her Regina (reg eena)

Pic my son took of my C hurculeanus ants when he went and purchased them.

 

When we fed them for the first time

 

Since it is a large test tube we taped it to the small outworld so when feeding they won't escape. 

 

Blurry because of the packing tape - nanitic feeding Regina this morning.

 

She laid some eggs last night.  Woke to a dead nanitic this morning - so 5 now remaining.

Queen was caught approx 2 months ago.

This is my new Camponotus pennsylvannicus - Sylvia.  Has many eggs, larvae, etc.,  She is always near them.

Regina.  Still just one larva.  No new eggs since she ate the ones she had laid.

New queen I caught this morning - Lasius sp.   

 

She is in lockdown in the drawer with Solenopsis and the 2 Formica queens.
