These ants were on a log. Many of them. Not sure if the photos show enough to identify. Southwest Washington.

Look at an ant in profile. If the thorax appears fairly smoothly convex, it likely is a carpenter ant (Camponotus sp.). If you can see a distinct depression about midway, it likely is a thatch ant (Formica sp.).
