Identification help! Major Worker or Queen?
I'm fairly certain it's a camponotus but not sure if it's a Major Worker or a Queen. I don't see wing scars, but my girlfriend says she does.
Little more info:
It's about 12-13 MM long and was found in Northern Idaho this morning. (9/18/2016)

yep, worker.
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
