Ya pretty sure this is not camponotis. I have have 9 families of them. I was thinking Formica mabey. I would like a second opinion. If I need better pics just say.

Formica sp. from the fusca group. Too dark to ID further. Also, don't forget your measurements.

Probably Formica. I'm just above WA on Vancouver Island and they are flying now. Caught 9 myself.
