Did I find two carpenter queens today??
Hi all, I’m turning to this board for help identifying two very big carpenter ants that I found inside my house this morning (in Northern Ohio). Both are about ~15cm. It seems implausible that they would both be queens - could anyone help me determine if they are queens vs large swarmers?

The biggest ants alife to this day are still giants in comparison to camponotus species (can't remember their name).
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

Dinoponera? I actually heard Myrmecia brevinoda is bigger than them.
