Hi everyone!

I've a queen here whom I'm pretty sure is a Camponotus Sp. But which one? Would appreciate some help ID-ing her.

Location: Malaysia (Tropical country)
Caught Location: Urban, found her trying to make a deposit at an Islamic Bank. Guess they rejected her proposal.
Date: Sometime late September or early October.
Size: 1.2 cm / 0.472 inches

Can't really see in these pictures, but her single petiole has a spike on it. I don't think she's a C. Pseudoirritans as I have a C. Pseudoirritans queen, and her eggs are orange, and she's usually flat down on the test tube, kinda like an alligator. This one's eggs are the usual white and she stands up on her legs.

Yes, Camponotus sp. but it would be pretty hard to tell which without microscope pictures because there are a lot of species there.
