I'm not sure if these are even Camponotus, they appear to be Formica to me.
Agreed.
The lunch meat pic especially looks like either F. Subsericea or F. Argentea. Time for a turkey sandwich.
I think you guys are certainly right. I suppose I assumed they were Camponotus because of their size, and also their choice of nesting site? I didn't realize there were so many species of larger ant. They don't look much like the Formica pictured on Antweb, because those all look too brown to me, but they certainly do look exactly like the F. Argentea pictured here:

But, they also look a lot like the F. Fusca pictured here:

I think F. Argentea is more likely, but how would I go about determining which is correct?
I suspect either Formica podzolica, Formica subsericea, or Formica argentea.
Formica fusca is smaller and is a solid shiny black all over, rather than having stripes of different shades of black on the gaster.
