Hi tpreston, I've looked at this one for a while and it's certainly Camponotus, but I can't be sure what the species is. Two similar species in the region are C. lownei and C. peseshus and I can't be sure which it is from the photos. It's probably C. lownei as this is the more common one, but for now it will just have to be Camponotus. Cheers, Jon
