I found this massive queen under a rock in my back yard.

A little over half an inch long. It has dark coloring on the top with orange on the bottom. I'm thinking some kind of Camponotus.

Classic case of "location is invisible, because it's in the title"

An exact millimeter length would be helpful, but she looks like Camponotus americanus. C. pennsylvanicus can sometimes have orange legs like that.
