Doesn't look one, if you caught it, can you shoot some more close ups?

In general, you want to look for a much bulkier thorax. Look for little scars where the wings used to be attached.

It's not a queen. Looks like a Camponotus major.


I accidentally froze all my ants

Queens have just about the same size head as majors but the thoraxes and abdomens are much larger.
