Hello,

 

I'm fairly sure these are camponotus pennsylvanicus, i'd just like to make sure. If I need to do a photo redo, please let me know.

I don't think so. They look more like Camponotus chromaiodes to me. The pictures make a little hard to see though.

ID requests require a location and a measurement, but in this particular case we can forego the measurement.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

 

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.
