Camponotus chromaiodes
Large ant. Front half of abdomen bright orange, back half of abdomen black, the rest of body dark brownish-red. Visible hairs on abdomen. Would not stop moving so I could take its picture! Probably a major worker.
Bank of small creek in woods, in the leaf litter
Look how beautiful it is! This species of carpenter ant is named chromaiodes because of the striking color combo with the red-orange.
