On 3/30/21 I collected two queens in a customers home in Los Altos, CA.  I tubed them today in seperate tubes.  I'm not sure of their species, I will post photos as soon as I can get some good ones that clearly show them.

Why make a topic now when you can make it after you get photos?

Why does it matter? Though they could have made an ID request first...

Because i didn't want to forget any of the details, like the date I collected them or the circustances of their collection.  I'm really forgetful and if I didn't create a topic I might never get the journal going for this species.

I took these photos today.  Photo 1   photo 2

 

Are those photos suitable to ID the species?  Thanks in advance.

I’m not that good with IDing californian camponotus, so ill leave someone else to narrow it down to species.
