[AdamKnapp]

Hello! sorry to bother you guys again, but I need help to identify this queen.[http://imgur.com/a/AXG4r][http://imgur.com/a/VkGtm] I caught her on last Tuesday (June 6) in a forest in Va (Found her in leaf litter. She is a little over 3/4s of an inch. She has laid two eggs, hates lights, laid her eggs in different batches, and stays around her eggs. Thanks again! Please give me some tips of how to take care of whatever she is.

Camponotus eggs are usually yellow, sometimes pink.
