It's a very large ant (for my few parameters) with a 10/12 mm. Have a very lethargic behavior (I sometimes thought it was dead) but sometimes she moved a little. He fled from the light and turned away from the wet cotton. In addition to all these details, part of her body is reddish brown with black head and striped abdomen.

Camponotus worker. All of the workers in a colony are female, of course.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
