I caught around 20 of these and around 30 chromaiodes and 5 americanus in a huge flight today. I will be keeping 2 of these and selling the rest. Pics shortly!

I decided to keep 3 because I don't know if there will be another big flight of these anytime soon. :lol:

All 3 queens have around 10-12 eggs. Queen #1 is very plump. Getting ready to lay more eggs!

These gals fly during the evening when it is above 75 degrees. I am hoping for some more americanus flights though. Need more of those.

Queen #2

Has around 10 workers and 3 pupae, 10 larvae and some eggs.

They ate some sugar water and fruit flies today. The eggs in the last update are now all small larvae! They have 10 workers and 4 pupae. Fastest growing Camponotus pennslyvanicus colony I've ever seen!
