I'm suspicious I my have honeypot ants in my yard. Then I noticed they behaved much like Camponotus, they spray and have no sting so I wrote them off as Componotus. But then I read they very closely related and that Honeypots also spray and have no sting, there is even the honeypot ant Componotus inflatus in Australia. I also have a species of common Camponotus running around my house but these are definitely not that common species I see. the lanky workers is what makes me especially suspicious but I don't know much about ants. What do you think? I put a plant pot base over their hole and that encouraged a lot of them to come up and warm the pupa I suppose so I was able to take a good pic. I don't have a close up for detail though. I'll have to get my dinolite going again with my new computer. Feel free to send the pic to somebody you think might know.
