I found the queen on June 19, in a rotten lot in a small hole with some eggs and pupae. I live in Virginia. I think she is a carpenter ant but I’m unsure. Thanks!

She has a striped abdomen and a slightly red thorax. I included photos of her in a previous post.

She looks like Camponotus herculeanus.
