That queen looks like a mature queen to me, purely because her gaster is so swollen with eggs.....
similar to my ligniperda queen, her gaster is like that now :o
I find some picture of Camponotus lateralis and is very similar to my queen
Yes yes, this fallax and lateralis are very similiar :)
Finally the workers start to hatch :P (it is take 2 months for egg to worker very very long )
So finally it looks like lateralis ;) , good luck with them , it is nice coloured Camponotus.
Here are some updates :D
Colony is doing very well now it has about 25 ants and a lot of brood :lol: .Colony grow very slowly.
Here are some pictures
Very nice Mate. Well if you give them a little heating the brood would probably develop faster. (a heat mat) But don't overheat them. 25-30°c daytime is enough.
