Queen caught in south Florida. I’m used to catching Florida carpenter ants but this queen looks kinda different. It also can be camponotus discolor now that I think about it.

It does look like floridanus to me. Tortuganus looks very different. Hopefully aaron can confirm.

Camponotus floridanus. They are much bulkier and have a wider head.
