Anyone know why Camponotus CA-02 (common name: Giant Californian Carpenter #ants still has a place-holder name? they’re hugely popular with antkeepers out west … odd they remain “undescribed” I’d think myrmecologists would be pushing & shoving to write a description & give these well-loved ants their binomial.
I hope it’s a good name— something w/ indigenous history or something cool. Since they are like mini #Dinomyrmex gigas maybe #Camponotus giglet? Camponotus minimyrmex?
