Nice video 👍🏼 I have a few Camponotus colonies going, they are Consobrinus & Aeneopilosus. They are great. Agree with your tips, especially the one about not disturbing them to much.

I have a Ligniperda colony. I was just sitting on a chair next to a table and she just landed there. She was approaching me like she wants me to catch her wich i did.
-
I just caught a camponotus pennsylvanicus queen! I'm super excited, this is the species I wanted to find this year!
-
I caught a camponotus herculeanus and it's my first Queen ever. She makes me so happy 😊👑
-
That's some nice footage of the queen helping the worker out of the cocoon! Much like people, because they are eusocial, they are quite helpless before adulthood!
-
carpenter ants are adorable, especially the queens!
-
I caught a Camponotus Pennsylvanicus queen a few weeks ago in my basement. I didn't expect her to be fertile, but I set her up in a test tube anyway. I left for a trip soon after, and when I got back I had forgotten that I had her until I was cleaning and found the test tube with the queen alive and with a pile of eggs and larvae.

I've just caught 2 alates camponotus ants from northern Canada and one already has at least 8 eggs. I've just ordered test tubes and an ant nest for them. I'm so excited:)
-
I have 2 C. pen, a C. novaeboracensis, and an unknown small-medium black ant queen. The novaeboracensis is my second-caught and my favorite, she lays many eggs and takes good care of herself and her workers! One of the C. pen queens' workers stuck a cricket leg on the cotton and it caused mold to grow :( but the novaeboracensis chewed on the cricket leg like a drumstick
-
