I caught this today (June 22, 2017) at Chicago Downtown while I was walking along the riverside pedestrian trail.
The size of this queen ant is approximately 1 cm.
Here are the pictures:

Re: Queen ID please
This is not Camponotus because their is a postpetiole. This is Tetramorium E. sp. Congrats on the catch!
