I don't know when she was caught but that won't help as much since she's a Camponotus sp.

I believe she's either C. fallax, C. piceus or C. aethiops

I'm not sure of the genus but that nest is way to big for that colony. I would move them into a tubs and tubes setup if I were you.

These are not mine, I am well aware that the nest is too big.

Nice, shiny Camponotus sp., which may be easier to identify once the major works appear.
