Thank you so much, Marta!
Thank you for the ID Sckel! I agree, it looks like Camponotus castaneus. Because of your help, I am learning a lot more about insects:)
Very nice spotting, Stephanie!
Wow, stephanie. I love ants, and these are fantastic photos. Nymphs are the genus Entylia and ant Camponotus. maybe Camponotus castaneus (http://www.alexanderwild.com/Ants/Taxono...) . :) thanks for sharing
