I caught a camponotus noveboracensis queen a few months back and I figured that i would start a journal on her now that she has got workers. if you want to see more videos on her, check out my YouTube channel. i didn't include them since they had video of my other queens in them (like my camponotus nearctuicus which is up for sale if you live in NY and want it message me)

Spelled Camponotus novaeboracensis, as in Nova Eboraca, the New York carpenter ant.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

My colony is still doing well after i got home from a 5 day long vacation trip although they lost 3 of their workers, the colony has certainly not lost their huge appetite and they seem to be doing the best of my 3 colonies still

They were doing very well for a while and got up to 12 workers, maybe even 13 one day...
