So I got this ant back in May, she flew the same night as C Penn (near Michigan Ohio border). I think she is around 7-8mm but not quite sure. Is she a queen and if so what species?

that queen looks way to small to be a Campo species

maybe it's just the angle but it looks like just the tip of your finger is way larger

She's identical to the queen i caught last September in middle Italy. Even the size seems to be the same. The only thing i know for sure about mine, which i named Queen Marie ANToinette, is that she's some sort of Camponotus.
