But without more details ... like where you found her (Washington state or D.C?) and how big she is ... we cannot attempt to identify her to a species level.

Loyal Worker Ant Posts: 629 05/11/2013 5:42 PM	I almost said pennsylvanicus. What makes them different identifying? I'm just curious.

Loyal Worker Ant Posts: 616 05/11/2013 8:58 PM	Mostly location. There are other subtle differences, though. Camponotus pennsylvanicus is east of the Rockies, with Camponotus modoc being west.

Loyal Worker Ant Posts: 616 05/11/2013 9:08 PM	Yes, three or more times as large. Their colonies can reach 50,000 (Mayr, Texas A&M), while Camponotus pennsylvanicus reaches 15,000 (Mayr, Texas A&M).
