Camponotous .... something, not sure!

 

 

Batspiderfish or canadian anter will be along soon to finish it.

Beautiful picture! I think we might need a few more angles of the ants to get a positive ID.  You can also try to ID it yourself using the key to Camponotus of Turkey: link

I narrowed it down to these

 

Camponotus buddhae

Camponotus maculatus sylvaticomaculatus

Camponotus oertzeni

Camponotus anatolicus

Camponotus baldaccii

Camponotus vogti

Camponotus shaqualavensis

Wow, nice job! I think we should add Camponotus turkestanus to this list though.

 

 

While the queen in this pic looks different, Camponotus turkestanus has a wide range of colors such as, black, yellow and orange
