I'm pretty sure she's a Camponotus, but sp?

Caught her in Vancouver, BC on May 16th, 2018.

She's about 40mm long

Thanks!

Camponotus modoc or Camponotus herculeanus, probably the former. The two cannot easily be distinguished without lots of magnification (especially as queens, although the workers may be easier.) Visible details like hair coverage and body texture are important.

There are hairs on her chin if that helps. I just took a magnifier to her.
