Hallo xespok!
The colours of the ants are a little bit different to the colours in realness. Habitus and colour imply that it is Camponotus ligniperda.

The colors are different, because I use a ring-flash from a close distance. This is the price that I have to pay for a goof field of depth.

Thx for the confirmation.
