Hello,

Can anyone identify the type of ant in these photos? Thank you!

Camponotus sp.

 

We'll need better photos to ID the species.

Thanks for that information. If I get a better picture, I'll post it. Should I be concerned about some of these being in my home? If so, is there any action I should take? Thanks!

I'll answer what I can:

1. Wooster, OH

2. 3/10/18

3. My home, in the living room near a window

4. I would estimate 1/4 inch

5. Just appears black to me

6-7. I don't notice anything distinguishing, just crawling around

8. Haven't found any nest

9. Haven't seen them fly

 

I hope this is helpful, thank you!
