Wanted to share this recent find with everyone, as I think this is one of the best looking species around.

Yesterday, I was anting with a friend and we came upon a fallen tree limb that we investigated. We found that although the wood was pretty hard and sturdy, we found an entire colony of Camponotus subbarbatus. We found the queen as well, and of course she was in the hardest, strongest section of the piece of limb. I am grateful that we got her out in tact, as I am very excited to observe this really neat looking species.
