Two days ago I managed to catch a fertile Camponotus Floridanus Queen. I have her in a test tube setup for now. She already layed a nice little pile of eggs. My main question is...Are the queens of this species fully or semi claustral? I just wanted to double check with more experienced keepers of this species.

Marti is just giving you a hard time. :lol:

All Camponotus are fully claustral.

Thanks guys. This is my first time with this species. I have experience with Dorymyrmex bureni and Solenopsis invicta. So I'll probably be asking a bunch of questions down the road lol.Thank you again for the feedback.
