I found a Camponotus pennsylvanicus queen running along the pavement last night. I took many photos and plan to let her go soon because I have a Camponotus pennsylvanicus colony.

for taking such amazing pics

I used a HP photosmart R817 5 MP, nothing special about this camera. I take photos on white paper or any surface that increases the affect of the flash. I took many photos but few come out good. Note I took the first 2 photos in a styrofoam cup.

i suppose with a queen that big you dont have to worry so much lol

Thats why I enjoy keeping Camponotus.

True.

Very nice picture. Queen looks great.
I know what you mean, i always take about 20 pictures and only 2 or so come out as i planned.

I plan to capturing a colony of Camponotus americanus some time this summer.
But for now enjoy a few photos I've taken.

A huge flight happened yesterday between 5-6 pm that I believe was Lasius neoniger. I collected around 30 queens but kept 10 for two colonies and took many pics.
The colonies.
