I don't know. I looked up lasius species, and the closest i found was the Lasius neoniger. The workers looked kinda the same. I would take a picture of the queen, but i do not wish to disturb her. I took some quick photos. I know they aren't the best, but I have bugged her too much lately.
Another picture.
hard to be sure with those pics i'm afraid, but possibly Camponotus
Im sorry for the quality of the photo. I don't want to disturb anymore for a while. really, I thought Camponotus species lived in wood and where much bigger.
Camponotus queens have also larger head. I think it is very probable it's Lasius neoniger.
Ok. is there any helpful tips anyone can give me.
Keep her in the tube until the first workers hatch, than put them in a nice farm. ;)
Normally it is not necessary to feed her until the workers hatch but you may give her a bit honey (or sweets) and a small insects. If she don't accept you can try later again but don't do it to often.
She will need plenty of rest. Keep her in a dark place, make sure the tube has a water reserve.
Is it a good idea to give her small insects when she gets larva?
Normally she has enough reserves until the first workers hatch. But you can give her a small insect.
Okay thx.
- I can see on my L. Niger queen that she have got some yellow/orange stripes, is that good? Because I mean it's because she are strong? but not sure.
