Hello All, Just found this forum! I recently found while cleaning up debris an entire colony of ants. Was looking to get a positive ID on them. I believe, and my ant knowledge is quite limited at this point, them to be Camponotus heculanean. (forgive my Latin if spelled wrong) 

Any insight from the experts?  :)

Any and All help appreciated!

Thank you for the reply! Is there anything specifically that you see that makes you think that? I agree upon research of that name they are quite the match!
