Camponotus??

Another queen found in a pool. Not sure if she will survive because I didn’t notice her until after I poured a bunch of Diatomaceous earth into the pool. Cleaned her off with some fresh water and it seems to be doing fine.

This one is about 16mm
Dark red almost black with a yellow or orange gaster

It looks to be Camponotus vicinus since it flies this month and fits the length and pic
keeping
1x Solenopsis molesta i think 10-20 workers
1x Camponotus pennsylvanicus/formosensis 2 worker
1x Formica pallidefulva 7 workers
