    I agree that it probably looks like Camponotus, but am not sure about the species. Camponotus herculeanus is rare in CA. Camponotus vicinus is a similar, more common species. So, it's probably best to leave it at species level for now unless you have the ID confirmed by an expert. Posted 2 years ago
