Need help identifying queen ant!

I found this queen ant with a group of worker ants and I'm not sure if the worker ants are with the queen or not. I also found another queen ant by the area and I need help identifying the queen. I can post more pictures if you need it!

Definitely a camponotus of some kind.

Funny, because it's always the case with queen identification that I always think it's a camponotus. Possibly Camponotus herculeanus.

Thanks for the help!! And is the last picture, that's slightly blurred, a queen ant?

Yes, it sure does look like a queen. I think I can see wing scars on it.

It's so small that's why I couldn't tell if it was a queen or not but the body structure of the ant told me otherwise and thanks again for confirming that it is a queen.
