Identify queen ty
My friend gave me two ants in Finland but im not sure if its a Camponotus or Formica ant. I'm pretty sure its too big to be a Lasius Niger. It's about 2 cm long
Also is the test tube too small for her. I was planning on keeping a Lasius queen but I'm not sure if this size works for these ants

Re: Identify queen ty
Camponotus major worker.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

Camponotus Queen not worker. Sorry for the mixup.

Re: Identify queen ty
There are only 4 different species for Camponotus ants in Finland. I'm not sure which one it is cuz 3 of them look very similar.
Does any1 know if it's C. herculeanus, C. fallax or C. vagus.
Also this is my first colony so a bit of help with the species diet and what kinds of nests they like would help a lot.

Re: Identify queen ty
The queen is poorly lit and barely visible. You will need more photos to have a chance of narrowing it down to the species.
