I put some pictures here, I am almost sure that is a Camponotus Pensylvanicus, but I need to confirm with other people with more knowledges, the messure is 1.4 to 1.5 CM, I called her the Big Mama...

Looks like Camponotus, not much experience with Camponotus sorry. :(
Favorite ant:
Polyrhachis/Echinopla

Founding:
-Dark Camponotus nicobarensis
-Polyrhachis illaudata
-Polyrhachis beccarii
-Polyrhachis rastellata 2x

Beginners must not keep Polyrhachis!

it is so big, i have good luck today Hunting, I checked in a dead tree, look a Camponotus Novaeboracensis, I am very sure, its a few confuse with herculeanus, but not, it has all the specification about that, this messure is 1.3 CM to 1.4 CM aproximatelly, I am very proud because that one a found with some eggs and one is almost opening...
