"Photocopier disaster!"

 

Not my picture. On a serious note, Camponotus?

He was making a joke, referring to some common photocopier brands (Canon - Canonus).  :D

 

They may be Camponotus, but they could be something else as well. 

We would have needed better closeups, or even an idea of where this was to know which species are even in the area.

Crystals is right, I was attempting a funny :rolleyes: . Too bad it's not mine, instant formicarium! What species other than Camponotus have cocooned pupae?

Formicinae have pupae. 

 

Sorry, I should have noticed at "Canon-" I am only getting in to photography. :)

Maybe it's Camponotus xeroxicus... j/k. Those are pretty big though. That copier does seem to make a nice formicarium.

Make sure that machine is unplugged! If they learn how to hit the copy button the world will be overrun in weeks!
