Trying to ID this ant - I thought it might be a carpenter ant, but it is arguable if this can be considered a heart shaped head. -
Camponotus planatus
Seminole, Pinellas County, Florida, USA
January 13, 2014
I've scanned every ant ID website, but this one does not exactly match anything I have seen. I'm sure whatever it is, it is a common ant.
