Caught this ant 7/9/25 in Columbus, OH near a wooded area, river, and houses. 12mm in length. Wings are black tinted, which I have not seen before. I'm wondering if this is a C. pennsylvanicus drone. The gaster seems like a queen, but overall length is too short for a Camponotus queen (I think) and the head seems a bit small.
