My best guess is so kind of European Camponotus species, here in the America's they're flying so it's possibly that...  Don't take my word on it though.

Seconded, I don't think anything else in Europe even comes close to those sizes, if I were to guess, I'd say that is Camponotus vagus, but I am not the best at id'ing


Um, uh, Ants!

Yes it is Camponotus vagus, great find, very easy to keep species and also quite active if you provide them some heat source.

Young ant keeper with a decent amount of knowledge on local ant species.

YouTube: https://m.youtube.co...uKsahGliSH7EqOQ (It's pretty dead. Might upload again soon, don't expect my voice to sound the same though.)

Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): Camponotus irritans inferior, Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, Nylanderia sp., Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (Myrma) cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly Zatapinoma)

Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.
