Hey everyone,

Its been a long time since I have been here! Hope everyone is doing well, I found this girl in my apartment this morning and I was curious the ID. It appears to be a Camponotus(sp?)

 

Any one might have a better clarification?

 

 

 

 

Thanks guys!

She looks kinda short/compact to be Camponotus..? Asuming that paper is college ruled, that would put her at 5-6mm, which also seems too short for Camponotus. Do you have a length in mm? Also, could you describe her coloration a bit? (How the coloration is picked up in pictures doesn't easily reflect what her colors actually are.)

Measurements in mm would be awesome. It definitely isn't Camponotus, looks like Formica.

Hi guys,

Hope this helps!
 

 

 

Thanks Guys,

It looks pretty dark, almost brown to black

This ant appears to measure about 11mm

Most likely Formica sp., but Formica cf. pallidefulva.

Definitely Formica.
