Ant Queen ID
Hi AC community, I recently caught this queen and I am pretty sure she is a Camponotus but could someone please confirm her. Also I've had her for three days now and she's been trying to get out pretty much every time I've checked up on her and she's always pulling on the cotton. I'm worried there's something wrong but not sure what so can anyone please help or maybe just calm my ant love worrying! Thanks so much guys!!
She's about 11-13mm

Re: Ant Queen ID
Can we get a picture of the front of the head? Is the measurement accurate?

Re: Ant Queen ID
Here's hopefully some better pics, I tried my best to highlight her head. Still digging away at the cotton too!

Re: Ant Queen ID
Great! Thank you Batspiderfish, much appreciated! Any ideas why she wants out or will this urge go away with time? I'm probably just overthinking it.

Sometimes a drop of honey on a piece of tin foil helps them settle.
