Hello friends, I just found this queen last night in my backyard trying to climb a wall. It looks a little like a Camponotus sp for me, but it's smaller than the others I caught few days ago. Also for the color I cannot find any similar Camponotus species yet. It's dark orange, like 10mm.

After a month, my queen finally has two nanitics. They could help with the identification maybe?

 

Anyway, I've uploaded a video. Hope any could help identify them.

I'm not too sure but this could possibly be Camponotus cuneiscapus?
