Hello,

I bought me a very beautiful Camponotus thoracicus queen. There is no brood yet. I was planning on keeping her warm in a test tube and disturb her as less a possible.

On the internet there is not much info about this species. Does anyone has any tips for a successful start?

Thanks

Shouldn't be any different from most other Camponotus. It seems like you've got it all down.

"God made..... all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds (including ants). And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:25 NIV version

Keeping:

Tetramorium immigrans

Formica cf. pallidefulva, cf. incerta, cf. argentea

Formica cf. aserva, cf. subintegra

Pogonomyrmex occidentalis

Pheidole bicarinata

Myrmica sp.

Lasius neoniger, brevicornis

Thanks. Don’t know how to erase this post, since I already placed it in the Camponotus topic

I don't believe posts and topics can be erased.
