Seeing as those are European, and coloration varies greatly with Camponotus, this isn't C. ligneperda.

No Camponotus ligniperda in North America. By her small size, this looks like Camponotus nearcticus, or possibly C. caryae, depending on whether there are hairs on her cheeks.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
