Just wanted to announce that in northern New Jersey, some other people, and I have all found Camponotus Pennsylvanicus Queens, roaming around today (May 14, 2017), looking for a place to found a colony. I have also found a bunch of Camponotus Ligniperda queens in their founding stages or excavating their claustral chamber under loose bark on fallen trees.

Thanks for the tip. I'm in MA, and that will tell they could fly this warm week.

No problem, happy I could help. Good luck on finding queens.

I found 8 or 9 queens, only 3 of which were alive. They must have flown yesterday and and barely went into the wood when the freezing night quickly came. I found most just barely under the bark, pretty sad.

Out of curiosity, where in Northern NJ did you find them?

I checked I identified wrong, they are more likely Camponotus Chromaiodes.

Bergen County, Oakland.

Yup, multiple Camponotus species flew for us in MA last week.
