*Edited due to finding a female, and strongly suspect the same species
Hi, could someone ID this female and male for me? The ants are out in full force today. Caught a Camponotus queen earlier (making 2 for me), so I'm excited to finally find something different
1. Location (on a map) of collection: Ardmore, AL right on the AL/TN line
2. Date of collection: 05/19/2018
3. Habitat of collection: Our house is in the middle of pasture, with several acres of mixed woods and swamp
4. Length (from head to gaster): Yeah...forgot to get this before I cut him loose
5. Color, hue, pattern and texture: Reddish brown, smooth
6. Distinguishing characteristics: Single node
7. Distinguishing behavior: None noted
8. Nest description: N/A
9. Nuptial flight time and date: Found at 2100
Female -- Found at 2120. Single node as well. I noticed some hairs on her gaster. She's approximately 16-17mm ...makes my Camponotus look like a [censored]-ant!
