She was by herself and kinda just wandering around aimlessly... which is my understanding of queen behavior. She's also larger than what Im used to seeing in the ants around here. Unfortunately, this is the best picture I am able to take and my eyes aren't good enough to tell if there are any wing scars. Can anybody else help tell me if I have a queen or not? For now Im going to keep her stored away in a test tube in the hopes that she is. I could also use some help with the species. It looks like a Carpenter ant to me (Camponotus?) but Im new to all of this and cant say for sure.
As far as geography goes: I am in the Chicago suburbs of Illinois, USA.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
