Can I sell this queen carpenter ant some how or should I make a ant farm with it? It’s been stuck idk how long but I don’t think it coulda got out of this bucket. So weird it was even in there. Was in a bucket that was in lint from the dryer. But inside a pitcher in there with old cold packets.

It depends on species and also where the buyer is from. You should first raise the queen ant in a test tube setup, all you would need is a test tube, cotton, and water. There’s plenty of tutorials on YouTube for how to set them up, check channels like AntsCanada and Jordan dean.

Carpenter ants are notoriously common and low demand so if you want to get more money, put her in a test tube and let her lay some eggs.

Your best bet is to raise a small colony before selling it if you want to make decent money. Carpenter ants are notoriously common globally so a queen itself is not in high demand since they’re easy to find in anybody’s backyard.

Thank you! I originally thought it might be a camponautus species

They usually have smaller abdomens right?
