Hello,
So after watching AntsCanada for a month or so, I decided I really wanted to give it a try. First time I went out for a walk with my wife, I believe we found 2, but I am unsure. They looked more larger then the worker ants of what looked to be the same species in the general area. Please take a look and help me determine if they are in fact queens and what species. I caught them in Saskatoon SK Canada.

Here’s the link to photos,

Images are too dark to judge how shiny they are, which would be important for separating C. modoc from C. herculeanus and C. novaeboracnsis.
