Hello everyone!

This queen walked into my house a few days ago. She has since torn off her wings and has even laid two eggs.

I've already been told that it is a Camponotus, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what type she is.

I couldn't figure out how to add pics directly, so I just uploaded them to imgur.

I don't have any measurements. Next time I check on her I'll put the test tube on a measuring tape. I'm keeping her in shoe box on a shelf in a non air-conditioned storage room and am trying to disturb her as little as possible.
