Index of Subjects <html> <body> Thanks, David. C. pennsylvanus's range is given as Quebec to Florida and the illustration in my Guide (NAS to Insects & Spiders) shows the abdomen to be quite hairy so I wasn't sure if this was the same species.<br> Angus<br><br> At 10:09 AM 8/13/2006, you wrote:<br><br> <br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Angus MacLean wrote:<br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><br> This ant may not be the Black Carpenter Ant (Camponotus pennsylvanus) but this pic appears to show yellow hair on the abdomen.
