Hi Hejor1, sorry about the slow ID. Even though it has a chimney-shaped nest entrance like that the one Camponotus intrepidus makes, the only ant we can see clearly is Camponotus suffusus. I have seen other Camponotus suffusus nests like this in some other reports of this species, but it is a little unusual. Cheers, Jon
