Hi Christine, it’s bigger than a normal worker because it’s a queen. 16 mm is still big though!!

Thanks for the fix Simon. I did wonder at the time whether should leave it to you! Do you have an idea of alternative species? Cheers, Jon

Camponotus hartogi is definitely the best fit, unless there's an undescribed species around here that superficially resembles C. hartogi
