I am looking at your picture but for the life of me I cannot tell if this ant has two joints before it's large behind. Can you tell me if this is a carpenter ant or something different?
Thank you!!

It would take closer inspection to determine. Where this ant was found and if there are others nesting in the same area, with the same conditions will help you. Also, a magnifying glass would help you examine the ant more closely. This link gives you all the information you will need to determine the species. Open all the drop down links.
