Infertile?


Most likely no, just I hadn't had time to get hosts.

Update 2/29/20

I took 2 Camponotus colonies in test tubes out last night, and the final 3 in mini hearths out today. I'm very happy to say that all 5 are doing well! The C. novaeborascensis have a nice bundle of larvae going into their 2nd year, so do both chromaiodes, as well as the pennsylvanicus. The C. herculeanus have a meager amount of overwintered brood for their size, but still more than the other colonies, and I'm expecting them to lay more soon, so it should be ok. I have pictures of everything except for one chromaiodes colony, because it was too difficult to get lighting in the mini hearth.

Now for the surprise! I knew that the herculeanus would be growing out of their mini hearth soon, so I've built them a nest out of AAC, along with a large outworld. Pictures of the setup, plus their massive amount of workers below.

Chromaiodes pictures are in the test tube, and so are the pennsylvanicus.

Went overseas to visit family for Christmas, and managed to get ahold of a couple pieces there. TSA nearly had a tantrum, but they let me bring it back. This is just the first nest I've made!
