Yeah, I was wondering, I just looked at my hurculeanus Queen and they looked similar.

It is C. novaeboracensis.


 Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?

There are so many fascinating ants right were you live!

I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that are not found in your area.

Correct! Also are the other two Queens Pheidole and Camponotus?

Yup for both. Can you take a guess on my Camponotus species? The answer is going to be pretty interesting.  :lol:

I believe your Pheidole to be gilvescens or cerebrosior.

I read your minds.I searched through every Pheidole and Camponotus species in Cali and compared them to your photos. It was a lot.
