I found her in feytroun, keserwan, Lebanon at the end of summer 2020.
She is about 15mm.
When her test tube dried I attached another prepared test tube, but she never left the dried test tube. I assume she is okay with dry environments.
I hope the the info given is enough.

She looks like a carpenter queen and most queens that are 15mm are carpenter.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

Have a look at antmaps.org they can show you what carpenter ants live in your area (Look at camponotus).

I have done a lot of research and after getting my first nanitic, I think it is camponotus abrahami. I am waiting for somebody else’s opinion, and thank you for helping. :D
