Lasius Niger
Large black ant, about 1/2 in long. Last segment is really long, so I'm wondering if this is a queen who just recently lost her wings and is looking for a nest.
Was found in the grass in our backyard.
Picture was taken of ant in Wyatt's hands.

That is most likely a lasius Niger queen.
