Just wanted to say hello, This is a wonderful forum!

 

I currently have a Camponotus Noveboracensis queen with 10 larva.

 

Camponotus Pennsylvanicus is flying here, I once had a large colony and I am fond of them.

 

I found one today but it had been bitten by a spider. So close. I should find another soon.

 

I will attach a photo or two of my Camponotus Noveboracensis.

 

PS :

 

Shout out to drtrmiller, I found him outside of this forum and he has shared some great ant knowledge with me recently through emails.

Hello Don, Good to see someone in my area. I sent you a private message. I may be able to help you.

 

Please do not use the gel farms from the store. They will kill your ants.

I sent you video instructions from Crystal on how to make your own. 

 

Antscanada is a good option if you just want to buy a great formicarium. I just found out the best way to contact him with questions is directly at mikeyjbustos@gmail.com.

 

My friend Terry from Byformica also has a great selection of nests perfect for a founding queen.

 

Glad to help
