In addition, since this is my first time looking for queen ants, I'm not even convinced they're dealates. They're definitely bigger than the other Camponotus workers I've found in the area, and I think the thorax sizes are indicative of queen ants, but I'm going to doubt myself until I get some sort of outside verification. For all I know, they're workers from a bigger species of Camponotus. Also, examination under a magnifying glass makes me think I can see where the wings were ripped off, but it's hard to tell.
I apologize for the quality of the photos. My phone is notoriously bad at taking macro photos. The photos are all of the same ant:
Thank you.
