Is This a Queen?
Found this just today in the gutter in northern Minnesota. She's running around like crazy and not sure if it's a worker or queen. It was much bigger than all other ants in the are though, so that's why I'm asking.

Looks like a Formica worker. If it doesn't have two wing scars on both sides of its thorax, it is not a queen.
