This is Camponotus sexguttatus, an introduced arboreal species quickly establishing itself in southern and central portions of the state.

This looks oddly familiar to my queens also caught in south Florida, also swarming at night, also 9 mm, and also camponotus. How do I take care of arboreal?


Here is the link to my ID request. She is one of the three that I needed IDed at the time. Perhaps I need a new ID

Those are indeed also Camponotus sexguttatus. C. nearcticus is much less common if barely present at all past south Central Florida. Perhaps this owes to the success of this similarly sized exotic; they're taking up the available niche.
