So I found this queen in my backyard just strolling around so I caught her. I live in northern California specifically South San Jose. I caught my queen on May 25th, she is black, she was not near a nest, and that's about it. Do you know what she is?

Its 100% Tetramorium immigrans. It clearly has 2 petiole nodes and a different body shape than camponotus.
