Hey guys,
Just caught today, 7/9/2018, in Central New Jersey, US. Looks like a queen to me, but I’m a newb. It’s about 3/4 of an inch(17-18mm), maybe a little less. The ruler in the pic is in inches. Anyone know if it’s a queen and if so the genus and species?

Looks like a camponotus to me... Any information beyond that would be a guess from me though

Camponotus Pennsylvannicus.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.
