  1. My Camponotus pennsylvanicus Queen is looking like a proud mama atop a pile of cocoons and pupae. You can see a good amount of polymorphism in the photo. Everyone looks well-fed.

  2. My Camponotus pennsylvanicus colony enjoyed feasting on a beheaded dubia roach yesterday. I also found a relatively large larva in the nest and, while I was trying to get a shot of it, caught some #trophallaxis in progress, too. Maybe the colony is finally large enough for some real #polymorphism!

  3. There are these cute, shiny, bicolor, chonky, little #ants that live in a stucco wrapped column outside of where I work. I suspect they are Crematogaster laeviuscula but I don't say that with much certainty. I'd love to catch a mated queen during their #NuptialFlight season.

  7. Man, I've got some well-fed #ants. Look at those big, swollen gasters!

    That's my
    #Camponotus pennsylvanicus (Black Carpenter #Ant) #queen, several of her daughters, and some of her brood pile within their #AntsCanada Camponotus Hybrid Nest.

    (Deleted & redrafted to add the image description I forgot the first time.)

  8. My little colony of #Camponotus castaneus #ants have grown from a queen and her three workers to a queen and her FOUR workers! And there are many more on the way.

  9. Our colony has been founded. Feel free to assist with species identification. Also, I need a macro lens.
