I agree with Camponotus. But the gaster isn’t hairy enough for it to be Pennsylvanicus.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

I am in Little Rock too, where did you find that at? I have been poking around some looking for a Camponotus.
Thanks!

Queen Camponotus pennsylvanicus are not quite as hairy as their workers, and it's easy to lose details of hairiness in the photography.

To me Camponotus pennsylvanicus queens have larger, fatter gasters.
