I would recommend putting olive oil near the top, it really helps keeping ants away from the top or making then slip off when they go near.

[@EstheticAnts]

Olive oil is bad, ants can drown in it.

[@amanofmanytalents6920]

Very true, which is why you put a very thin layer.

[@amanofmanytalents6920]

Plus you have bigger ants, so it is less likely that they drown.

[@EagleNebulaa]

Crematogaster scuterralis, I also have that one

[@justyourordinarytom6528]

Great video just wanted to pick two mistakes up (sorry i cant help myself im Camponotus lover 😆) camponotus dont have a cast known as supermajors . Max are these three : minor, media and major . And also not all of Camponotus nest in wood . Lot of them nest in the ground and cant even dig in wood . Just a few species has jaws amd muscles made for this kind of nesting medium .

[@EstheticAnts]

Ohh thanks for your comment, you are right haha

Your videos are very inspiring, I only own 1 camponotus queen, 1 queen in general, I dont have much luck finding them and its illegal to sell ants to the U.S, but I hope to find more in the future.

[@Ninuturu]

if they are from Alabama they do hibernate :) might be word asking from which exact region they got caught, same mistake is commonly said about nicobarensis, which also hibernate if they are caught from some reagions

[@EstheticAnts]

Ah okay, on The Ant Lady's site it said they don't hibernate.

Amazing video👍🏻 looking forward to seeing the colony grow 👀😄

[@EstheticAnts]

Thanks brother!!! Me too.

[@FizzleFX]

2:25 ordered that one. A test. I think salmon is the best color. White is dull and you don't see white things and yellow is a pee color that's too bright for my Yellow ants - Fetschenkoi and Turkestanus. Those were also nearly sold out so I only could get one for now. Oh question: I also started feeding insects cold. I think as long as the bugs are frozen they should hold basically forever (or until used). My bigheads eat them just fine but others seem more picky. Do you have any experience on that? My Foreli seem to love the hunt far more than boring dead/frozen stuff...

[@mcallahk]

Very nice species, I love Camponotus. I'll have to look into The Ant Lady's sugary treats, for me- I mean, my ants. Haha!

[@EstheticAnts]

hahahah thanks! Glad you liked it.

[@josephprosser7414]

I just recently bought a small colony of Camponotus Discolor around 11 workers and i had a couple of questions i hope you might be able to answer for me! I noticed that Camponotus Discolor are most often found on the east coast of the United States and there are 0 reported cases of them where I live in the state of Wyoming will this different climate effect them a lot? Or will it not matter much because they will be in captivity? And do you have a recomended starter formicarium for these ants? Thanks!

[@EstheticAnts]

The ones I have where actually Camponotus Decipiens. Those might fly more in your area. I don't know much about climates, just keep them between 25 and 30c (No idea what that is in Fahrenheit) and you should be fine. I moved them today into a tarheel minihearth with 19 workers and they seem to be doing great! This Sunday a new update about them.

Doesn't like live feeding videos, but keeps exotics. Seems a bit hypocritical to me...

[@EstheticAnts]

In Europe it isn't a problem to keep exotics.

[@TacticalHandleGaming]

@@EstheticAnts How is that not a problem? The very export of this ant to the UK is questionable legally speaking. Plus if the colony escapes it could cause a some serious issues to the native species.

[@EstheticAnts]

@@TacticalHandleGaming in Europe it's legal to keep excotics since they can't survive the harsh winters we have.

[@TacticalHandleGaming]

@@EstheticAnts I feel like Camponotus species in general would survive. But that's just my 2 cents
