Hi, today I found this one after walking out to feed my koi, she was just walking inside the house by the door... she is really active and keeps cleaning constantly so its hard to get a good pic without motion blur...

Vaguely resembles a Lasius sp. queen, but without crucial information like measurements, there’s no way to be sure.

Looks like Brachymyrmex to me.

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Nylanderia maybe? But most likely brachymyrmex

Based on the time you found her, definetly Brachymyrmex.

Thanks for the answers!!

I was surprised to find her just walking around trying to find were to hide totally alone, there were not other ants on the back porch and I have check every morning the last couple of days to see if I found more queens but I have not found anything...
