Hi I need to find the species of these ants.

Size: Around 14mm

When: Around 7/17/2023. Around 5:00

Where: Oconomowoc, WI. Apartment complex.

Appearance: Black with a white/brown stripes on gaster/abdomen. Sort of a boxy head.

Behavior: Once I got her in the test tube she was not happy. After 20 minutes or so she was staying by the cotton ball by the water.

As you can see the queen does have three workers. They have been through a lot of moving between test tubes because I'm new to this.

Looks like a species of Camponotus to me. (Carpenter ants)
