Ant ID! Western Australia worker + major needs ID! Need reply soon!!!
I've just recently found this ant species in my area and I need identification. The major is about 10mm and the worker is about 7mm. I think it's Camponotus of some sort but I'm not sure. P.S- Sorry for the bad images

Im not sure about pheidole. 7mm seems quite big and the major has quite a large abdomen so i dont really know.

Pheidole Megacephla most likely.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.
