Ant ID from Singapore

[micheldied]

Can anyone give their best guess as to what these ants are? I have a colony from a queen caught in Singapore (near Malaysia). This whole time I thought they were some species of Camponotus, until I saw them trying to sting a roach today.

Unfortunately I don't have a camera that is good enough to catch a good still-shot of them, so this video is the best I can do.

Those are camponotus. They might not sting but they'll still bend their abdomens forward to spray prey with formic acid.

Ah, I couldn't match them to any other genera. I didn't know Camponotus did that, thanks!

Question: have you ever seen Pheidologeton diversus in the wild?

Possibly, or at least very similar looking ants (my ant knowledge is very small). My sister was attacked by ants similar to those when she was much younger.
