Re: Possible Camponotus vicinus??
Camponotus vicinus is common in North America from about the central portions to the west. However, I don't believe that the ant in the photo is vicinus. 5 mm is too small.

Re: Hoping for ID's for 2 queens
Vicinus for the #2 queen seems reasonable, although she seems more slender and lighter in the body than the last one I had. The #1 queen has the matt black colour, but no reddish legs, and the gaster seems round rather than oval. She doesn't appear to have the light and dark bands caused by the hair...

Hoping for ID's for 2 queens
Queen # 1 is 13 mm, found in Southern BC about 3 weeks ago. I thought she was C. modoc, but she is a bit small and looks different from my other modoc colonies. Her head is enormous but her gaster is smaller and more round in shape. https://imgur.com/O2PTCzu https://imgur.com/s6XfyAw Queen #2 is 15 ...

Re: Ant Queen ID
Sometimes a drop of honey on a piece of tin foil helps them settle.

Could be Formica subsericea.

Re: Need help identifying
If they survive they will do entirely too well. Their colonies are amazingly fast growing and easy to get out of control. The queens pretty much lay around the clock.
