Hello everyone! I was hoping you all might be able to help ID two queens that I found recently.
As stated in the title, I am located in Kentucky, USA. This first queen was found on May 10 inside of a decaying log.
She is approximately 11 mm in length, and the most notable thing about her is the yellow and black stripes on her gaster.
Pictures below:
The second queen I found in my house today (May 13), hanging out on the bathroom door. She is a little smaller, about 9 mm long. She is dark red in coloration with a black gaster.
Any and all help is appreciated, thank you in advance for your time and effort!

Sorry about that! Didn't realize photo bucket disabled free 3rd party hosting.
Let's try this again:

Queen #2

Re: Kentucky Queen Identification
First Queen is definitely Camponotus, but I don't have a key for the species.
Second Queen is most likely Camponotus but I'm having difficulty identifying certain features on the head.
