Unknown Camponotus Major, NSW Australia

[KhaoticAnts]

I found a colony of these ants on the mid north coast near port macquarie in bushland around my farm and i was hoping i could get some help ID'ing them. The ant in the photo is a major, approx 17mm long and very aggresive, the nests they live in a dried clay mounds about 10-15cm high out of the ground. Thanks

It looks like camponotus novaecaborensis but im not sure if they are in Australia

Definitely not there. 17 millimeters long? That's as big as the queens over here!

With Camponotus diversity as it is in your area, I'm afraid we would probably need to identify this worker by hand.

I see, thats alright then it is a very interesting ant and am happy to have found it thanks
