1. Location of collection: Brockport, NY
2. Date of collection: 6/5/2015
3. Habitat of collection: Nesting in rotten branch
4. Length (from head to gaster): 9mm
5. Color, hue, pattern and texture: Solid black

 

Sorry for the blury photos, it is late here and I have bad lighting.

 

I found these in a park. The park had a lot of Camponotus pennsylvanicus in it.

 

These seem to be slightly small for C. Pen but they could be new workers of a fresh queen..

 

Let me know if the photos are not good enough and I will try again tomorrow.

I agree with Miles. Could be a bunch of different species since there are a bunch that look just like that.
