I found and tubed this queen, and I'm 90% sure she's Camponotus (carpenter) based on the singular petiole node, large size, and overall body proportions.

Since I live in East Texas (Tyler area), there are dozens of different species in the area, so I'm having a really hard time identifying the specific species.

(Please don't be alarmed by the single antenna in the picture. She was grooming when I took it. She has both, I promise!)
