Camponotus ligniperda - my colony pics.

[Wood~Ant]

Thought you guys might be interested to see what my colony of C. ligniperda are doing in their Bug Podz home











Best shots I could get, so I hope you enjoy them?

Looks like they are doing great, Camponotus larvae seem to grow really fast, one of the fastest species I've kept , nice pictures

Cheers Tom, the comment about the pics is a great compliment coming from you, as you are such a good photographer
I will try to add more pics when I can. Will also get more of the Messor queen if she sits still long enough for them

Here are 2 more pics. The first shows some of the newly laid eggs, while the 2nd shows the queen tenderly holding one of her larvae. Good old mum!

Hi Wood,
those pics are fantastic!, I love the look of the queen, she looks well armoured and tough as nails!
