I caught this queen last earlier this month and she hasn't shed her wings or laid any eggs but I would like an ID.

Re: I need a Queen ID.(4)
Its only 8mm long, not nearly as big as my other camponotus queen so I don't think its a camponotus sp. Also I caught her in San Rafael, if that helps.

Also I just realized, it looks exactly like Batspiderfish's icon! I put the queen next to the picture on my screen and they look like the exact same ant!

Camponotus sp.
Not all American Camponotus are large, particularly queens of the Myrmentoma subgenus, which are close to 10mm.
