I agree. My colony isn't doing too well. But the queen did lay some new eggs for the first time in forever.

Aren't the only difference between Pennsylvanicus and Chromaides the leg/midsection coloring?

No. There are a few morphological differences, such as the wider head of pennslyvanicus or the larger majors of chromaiodes.

wow, I never looked that closely, but it would be very interesting if I saw a colony of both Pennsylvanicus and Chromadies next to each other to see the subtle differences

Yeah. My 400+ workers colony of Camponotus chromaiodes has two exceptionally huge majors. The largest of the two pushing 18 millimeters, with a 10 millimeter wide head. The other is smaller, at about 16 millimeters, and 5 millimeter wide head.

Woah, the Camponotous in my area seem to have bigger queens, about 2 inches long that I have seen on ocassion. Actually, a giant queen alate (looked to be Americanus) looked to be a little over 2 inches

Two inches is impossible. But pennslyvanicus queens can get up to two centimetres.

Prenolepis imparis and Crematogaster ashmeadi flights are just around the corner! Flights start late January.

I spent all summer looking forward to a break from my ants. They’ve all been in diapause a week now, and I already miss them. Can’t wait for new flights next season. I’ll have to make do with sporadic reports from Australia and CA on this hibernating forum until then I guess.

Added Tapinoma sessile colony. Multiple queens, mate in nest, many more queens than original 7 will become fertilized, egg laying queens later on. No hibernation required, fast growing.
