Hi WHall, Yes, it’s very likely. There’s not much else around here that it so big and still has the band of yellow on the gaster, so it’s a good call. Why don’t you suggest it and I’ll confirm. Cheers, Jon

Hi Jon, is it possible that the ant is Camponotus consobrinus as suggested by Dr James Trager (retired ant entomologist St Louis Missouri)
