carpenter ant - Camponotus novaeboracensis
Fredericton, York County, New Brunswick, Canada
June 14, 2009
This is possibly Camponotus noveboracensis, based on similarity to an image in BG, but I will wait for expert id. These 2 or 3 ants had found a crack in one of my deck posts, and were busy digging it out. I observed one carrying out a bit of wood and dropping it either at the mouth of the hole, where the wind would blow it away, or over to the gap between the floor boards, where it would drop it down.
