I've had this ant for close to two months and I just want to make sure I know how to take care of her. I'm thinking its Camponotus Pennsylvanicus but it never hurts to double check.

 

-Found in a log

-Caught April 4

-Idk the environment exactly, it was a small garden behind the school where I work

-Nearly an inch in size

-Completely black

Yeah sorry I just edited it. I thought the picture posted but I guess not. It just said the file couldn't be uploaded and I don't know why

Appears to be Camponotus pennsylvanicus
