ant queen unknown species
I have not yet located this ant in my research as yet. I suspect a female camponotus singularis as the male generally has a longer abdomen. Singularis is common in this area. From research the image of camponotus castaneus is close, but I could be way off here.
The only solution is to find one and keep it in captivity and hope for a colony, but I have only seen this queen twice. The first was destroyed but managed a good shot of the head and wing. The second, I managed one shot and then it was gone.
Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Alongside a stream and paddy fields.

I probably have upwards of 50 unidentified bugs in my collection, probably a lot more as I am just guessing. I really do try!
