Hi Wendy, do you have any more info on this ant or photos? Due to the angle the band for C.consobrinus is not visable and would be seen as a C.nigriceps.

unfortunately that was the only shot I got. They hid in their hole. Didn't like the torch? There are lots of Camponotus consobrinus here. The only other possible C. sp. I have is Sighting 4585750. I will keep a look out. I think I took the shot because they looked different to C. consobrinus, lacked the honey band.
