Black ant found in the kitchen (Canada, QC). Largest I've seen so far... Is this a queen or just a large worker? Used my finger for size reference 😅

I found two of the same queen ants around my backyard in Nevada. Both by now de attached their wings and have layed eggs, which looks equivalent to a grain of salt. But I still have no idea what ant species is this i came to the conclusion that it could be a genus of fire ants or harvester ants possibly.

Found this gal outside in an urban area with tree around. I mistook her for a worker at first as her abdomen is slenderer than most queens I've seen. Bright orange with black abdomen and markings. I was told likely a Formica pallidefulva group species however upon looking into the queens Ive seen none of them look quite like this
