C. modoc the further north you go, lots of C. laevigatus and of course C. vicinus. Tons of Formica like F. ravida and F. aserva. F. ravida build huge mounds near forests, you can't miss it. They have amazing eyesight and can be quite aggressive if disturbed.

 

You'll also find Lasius as well as Manica rubida (a species I want, but they fly late in the year).
