Hello, I captured this queen some time ago and we identified her as Camponotus punctulatus and I'm almost sure that it's incorret now that I have the workers and a major. Since I'm planing on posting a video about this colony soon, would be good to have the right ID. Thanks.

 

Location: Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

 

I know that videos aren't the best source for ID's but I couldn't get a good photo because the flash keep turning off if not in the record mode. I'll post the video, some pictures from the video and some of the queen when I captured her.

 

 

Shots from the video if you don't want to keep pausing it.(Could be better positions and focus in some parts of the video)

 

OBS: This could be a young sub major, so maybe it don't have it's final color.
