One week’s spring growth with my eastern black carpenter ants (who are excellent rewarding ants to keep as pets!) #antphoto #antphotos #camponotus #carpenterAnts

The size difference between majors and minors is remarkable in carpenter ants. Look at this big girl with a head like a sturdy black shovel. Imagine having a big sister like this! Wouldn’t it be wonderful? #antphoto #antphotos #carpenterants #ants #camponotus

These nicos are SO LAZY. Look how they dump their trash right by the door. (I think they had a hard winter and are scared to explore since I changed the sand. )
Maybe they are mad about recycling not solving everything too. #lazyants #badants #ants #antphoto #camponotus

Ants have excellent mental maps of their nest and territory. When a previously open passage becomes blocked they are very persistent about working to get it open again.
Let's hope these carpenter proof nylon caps hold!
(I think the caps that they chewed through were cheap ones off of ali-express. I've never had this issue with plastic caps before, they *feel* softer than other caps I've used. Lesson Learned!)
