Hey I found this queen I believe to be Camponotus, she's 1cm in size, has a black body and bright yellow legs. Images attached, any help would be appreciated.

Try getting new photos with better lighting. Sunlight from a window would work great.

She looks like she's from the subgenus Myrmentoma to me, although better pictures definitely are required.
