Man, I remember about 4 or 5 years ago, me and my sister lifted a rock and saw some ants and we were like "Oh, cool. Ants." 30 minutes later we come back, lift the rock again, and I went batshit crazy because they had wings. Didn't know they grew wings to mate, thought they were 'super' ants.

Used to find many many queens all over my yard and I thought they were just some weird type of ant and mushed them cause they were squishy and had squishy butts. Now that I’m grown and realise they literally were all queens....... I could’ve been rich... there were like Atleast 50 of them each day, I thought it was a colony....

I know this comment is ancient but when i was about 12 at my old apartment complex there was an old tree in the front of the yard with a huge hole by the trunk, and there was a wood fence it wasnt big it was just holding the lawn in place because the lawn was higher than the side walk and it was a "highway" for black carpenter ants that were living in the tree, i used to catch bugs and put them by the nest entrance and watch the workers attack and bring them back to nest, one day i went into my yard and it was full of flying ants (at the time i didn't even know they were ants let alone undergoing their nupital flight) but it was amazing to see 100s of ants flying around on a warm summer evening, that was the one and only time ive witnessed a nuptial flight, now 16 years later i still i live in the same town i saw the nupital flight in but a different apartment complex, been interested in raising camponotus pennsylvanicus for a few years now but have had no luck whatsoever finding a queen, it truly seems like a fun and rewarding hobby if i could just get started..

They are smarter than workers and scavengers. They immediately escape and run pretty fast. They are very careful even when leaving best to mate. So they are clever and sneaky. But when you finaly hatch them it's worth the work. . They are most amazing part of colony
I learned so much

Super helpful video
you voice is so calming
I've never went out to look and succesfully found Queens but just a few days ago I found my second Queen ant by chance. Around 5 or 6 years ago i found my first while sweeping at the end of a retail shift, caught it in a water bottle and transferred to a test tube, the colony reached i think 8-10 workers before winter but the Queen died during the hibernation period. Now I work in new construction and just happened to spot a winged ant crawling around inside the house we were working, once again caught it in a water bottle and transferred later, looks like its a harvester ant and hopefully it goes better this time.

Cool video !
nice informative video thanks...
Assuming all conditions are just right (right season, right weather, biodiverse area, and an experienced eye), roughly how long does it take to find queens? For example would you be spotting multiple queens per hour under ideal conditions, or would you feel lucky spotting one after a full day search, or somewhere in between?
