Does anyone know what species this is? I found two queens in Laguna Beach California while hiking in the hills. Both queens have already lain a few eggs each at its only been two days.

I'd say a type of Camponotus. Not sure which type though.
Camponotus Pennsylvanicus
Camponotus Americanus
Tetramorium
Solenopsis Invicta
Pheidole
Lasius Flavus
Brachymyrmex
Odontomachus Burneus

Someone on Reddit believes it's Formica Sp., something in the Fusca species group.

Anyone else have an idea?
