Queen I've never seen before.
Caught in a wooded area in Maryland in early May.

Looks like one of the darker Camponotus subbarbatus.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
