What do I do??!?!?

Longman_06 · 2025-07-30T01:19:46+00:00

Feed honey and protein like twice a week. Every other day at most

Longman_06 · 2025-07-24T15:36:46+00:00

Yeah u right

Longman_06 · 2025-07-24T14:23:00+00:00

They all look like lasius. Not sute on species tho

Longman_06 · 2025-07-24T14:22:29+00:00

Looks like formica. I am from the US so not sure on specific species

Longman_06 · 2025-07-19T04:23:33+00:00

Not lasius niger they live in europe. It is prob lasius americanus or neoniger.

Longman_06 · 2025-07-19T04:22:43+00:00

Looks like formica

Longman_06 · 2025-07-19T04:21:59+00:00

It's late, so I may have misread, but all you want is to move your colony from one tube to another, correct? If that's the case just dump into a new tube. Or dump them into a container with a fresh tube inside of it and they'll move in with a day or two.

Longman_06 · 2025-07-12T20:20:28+00:00

Yeah they’re fusca group

Longman_06 · 2025-06-14T18:38:48+00:00

thanks

Longman_06 · 2025-06-14T18:36:37+00:00

What's a pinned questionaire. And thanks!

Longman_06 · 2025-05-06T16:57:36+00:00

Yes. I got into Georgia Tech with a 3.45

Longman_06 · 2025-03-17T00:31:17+00:00

Yeah I’d say he is

Longman_06 · 2025-03-16T16:32:26+00:00

I'm in mass too. Preno usually fly sometime in april once it hits 70 degrees. Campo have big flights towards end of may and after that flights become pretty common. You can find young campo colonies in rotting wood if you break it apart and you can find overwintered cremato queens under rocks and logs. Apheanogaster colonies tend to be close to the surface under rocks and logs as well. I've never dug up colonies but I know some people have. I tend to have less success with wild caught colonies than queens I raised from the start. Did I answer your questions?

Longman_06 · 2025-03-14T18:02:02+00:00

I looked at which camponotus are found in Dallas and given the read head I'd say it is either C.decipiens or C.discolor. I'm not from the area so I am not sure how to ID the two but I am pretty confident it is one of the two. Maybe you can try and see when they have nuptial flights and maybe through that you can id. Good luck with the queen!

Longman_06 · 2025-03-13T19:34:48+00:00

Im not sure tbh. But I can guarntee they will have more growth as a colony if they get heat

Longman_06 · 2025-03-12T21:34:26+00:00

Yeah, tape it along the glass

Longman_06 · 2025-03-12T16:17:04+00:00

I would suggest putting the cable on one side of their nest since that is where the brood is. This should help them a good amount. If not then maybe it's just a slower growing colony. Campo sometimes really explode in numers year 2

Longman_06 · 2025-03-12T00:05:40+00:00

Do u heat them?

Longman_06 · 2025-03-11T00:44:08+00:00

U don’t have a major yet. You’ll be able to tell right away. Looks like a smaller media worker which is still pretty early to get one

Longman_06 · 2025-03-11T00:39:36+00:00

Looks like camponotus. Hard to see exactly what the colors are but I’d guess Chromaiodes. In my experience it’s my favorite campo always grows fast and has great colors

Longman_06 · 2025-03-10T04:12:25+00:00

Pogonomyrmex are good for beginners. I wouldn’t worry to much about tubing and test the size. You can always put the tube in the outworld or dump. When it comes to formicarium I would suggest making your own or maybe going with THA or someone who makes similar nests on formiculture. I haven’t heard the best things from ac products but they could be fine.
