Hello everyone of formiculture, I recently moved to New Hampshire and was able to get a Camponotus novaeboracensis aelite at my blacklight on June 27th 2021 and she shed her wings in a holding tube. She currently has 6 eggs.

I had gotten rid of that queen due to moving once again, but I am settled now and have caught 19 of these queens! All have laid it seems as of now. Consider this journal revived!

Moved them into a Formisquarium, despite them not being active forgers due to the size of the colony, I bought them a nice THA outworld that should arrive sometime.

Done. Also remember to not capitalize species names, only the genus name.
