Can someone identify this little lady for me?

So they did not touch the mealworms but shortly after cleaning those out I replaced them with cricket leg pieces and two of the workers where out there eating/gathering them up. I saw one of them come back to the queen and feed her.
It looks like I will have a couple more workers next week.

So Bat, on one of your replies you said we would need to see the workers to be able to identify. What should I focus on for the new pics? Certain angles?

Thanks

You'll want to see the hair coverage on the mesosoma (the thorax).

Ok Bat, here are a couple of pics of the workers for the queen above.

Can you tell by these what species?

[Mortamir]

Better pic.

I'm leaning towards Camponotus novaeboracensis for the coloration and shininess.

I don't know their coloration is a bit black for it to be camponotus novaboricensis

[Batspiderfish]

I think the pictures are just dark.
