Yea. I caught 10 and a few look a little bit like majors but at least 1 is a queen for sure.
I’m thinking this one is a queen. The thorax is wider than it looks in the photo

Dang that sucks. I totally thought they were queens because they hid under tree bark while some other Camponotus which were obviously majors or workers were foraging like crazy.
