Found another queen, much bigger than the first couple. So I'm hoping it's not just a bigger tetramorium. If you know what this queen is, it would be greatly appreciated! Excited to see her first eggs.

Looks like a Formica queen. I wouldn't invest too much in this ID, but likely Formica accreta based on the location. Formica are tricky to ID without close pictures. Formica cf. accreta would mean that you assume this is the species, but you haven't confirmed it yet.
