Hi Guys, I found 2 Queens today, in the pictures you can see the Queens, first queen has a messure of 13 - 14 CM, looks like how my Camponotus Novaeboracensis the second queen has the messure of 15 - 17 CM. I Add Some picture below and I think that is the same Species to the video, I appreciate your help...

First queen, gaster color and head black, Mesosoma and Torax dark brown, legs like a dark brown look how red.

I look similitudes with my Camponotus Novaeboracensis and is a littler than my first and color is more dark

Second queen, totally black, I think is a posible Camponotus Pensylvanicus or Herculeanus.

Could you get a photo under bright light or with flash for the first ant so I can see the thorax color better? I am thinking Camponotus novaeboracensis, but I want to be sure.
I believe the second is Camponotus pennsylvanicus.
Nice finds! ;)
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
