are unlucky you will get it sometime it took me ages
Hi
in my opinion Camponotus cruentatus is a very sensitive species
and transport can kill them very easily...
I also bought two Colonies a few years ago and both queens died for no reason only
a few days after arriving.
And they only had to go about 200km from Antstore to me.
Maybe you try it with an other species of Camponotus.
Yes antstore is sending me a new collony for free as they died after 2 days
cool just when you get them just leave them for days until they have more workers and do not force them into the nest when you get them because what if they do not like the nest if so they willonly die.
Guys you wount beleave this but in this forum it says that they take time to lay eggs but my queen has already layed 4 i got her on the 2 weeks ago.
hello, sorry to read u lost the first queen,:cry: but now with the second having eggs, you MUST leave her in peace, refrain from looking at her, youl only stress her out, leave her dark and warm, this is the most important part getting your first workers to live......once they arrive they will look after her, right now shes looking after herself, which she is capable of, providing you give her peace......
good luck this time.
No she has 4 workers 2 cocouns and one larve and 7 eggs
even so, its an imature colony, leave them in peace untill your numbers significantly improve :wink:
yeah i'm trying to do that with my camponotus ligniperda :wink:
they are in a test-tube wraped in that red plastic stuff so they can not see me but i can see them and the end with the water behind the cotton wool is covered by sand and test-tube is in a ice cream tub and i give them food there. they have alot of eggs and two workers. one worker died about a week ago but i think it was due to me being a bit impatient :( but other wise they seem fine.
You know Camponotus ligniperda are a very slow growing species. Its good there is a lot of brood, hopfully it will hatch before the other workers dies. Good luck.
