Texas SE Gulf Coast - Camponotus castaneus? - Camponotus castaneus
Lake Jackson, Brazoria County, Texas, USA
May 13, 2016
Size: ~10mm total w/ wings
3 alates on window during day. Camponotus looked closest but I don't know much about ants, except of course Solenopsis invicta.

Confirmation/correction appreciated. Thanks.

Camponotus for sure. C. castaneus is a good guess! I'm not sure myself. We need an E. Coast myrmecologist to confirm.
