I guess I might as well document the progress of my two groups. The more advanced group is Colobopsis impressa with 5-6 noodle-eggs, and the C. obliqua seem to be lagging behind. I don't have any pics of the colonies right now but I do have a picture of a queen specimen from this year.

The duo continues to do amazingly. They're up to 8 or so eggs now, and their first larvae should be appearing soon.

I really love these unique ants. Any tips on catching them? I black lighted with good flying conditions for Camponotus near a forest and no luck.

They're pretty much done now. Usually their flights peak around mid June on warm, humid nights a day or two after rain.

Oh well. I will have to try next year I guess.

I get them every 75+ night starting mid-late June and am still getting a couple a night.
