3. Habitat of collection: Hiking trail in the woods
4. Length (from head to gaster): 10 to 12 mm

Looks similar to another queen that was identified as Camponotus Clarithorax, but is slightly smaller and her eggs are a lot smaller than the eggs from the Camponotus Clarithorax queen.

Thanks for the help!
