Caught 4/21/17 in Rocky Mount NC on a tennis court, she was wandering around almost as if she was looking for a home, but still with her wings un-clipped.
Brown to orange color, dark orange glossy underside.
Length is roughly 3/8 of an inch

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.
