Oregon queen, thought to be Camponautus

[SamuelMamuel]

Caught this beauty. She is about 1.5 cm long. Quite red with some black.

We cannot see the picture, it shows up as just a gray circle.

Probably a permission error. You're using google photos, so I would add it to a shared album and embed the image URL from said album.

Here she is. She currently has one egg

Better side pictures?

Not right now. I have looked at her too much already and I'm afraid I might be overstressing her

She does appear to be a Camponotus sp. for sure...as for an ID, I'll leave that to someone with more knowledge of your area. She is beautiful though!

[Martialis]

No better pictures needed, but for an ID to the species level I want a few more (top, face, maybe another side) This is Camponotus. I would almost like to say Camponotus vicinus, though I'm not entirely sure.

I think either way I'm gonna have to let her go. I don't have time or patience to raise a camponautus colony. So y'all know what's flying in oregon?
