I am aware about using the template and sorry for not doing so...

 

Anyway I caught this queen a couple hours ago on a hot, humid day. I believe they just had a flight. She is small (5-6 mm). I'm pretty sure they are Nylanderia parvula.

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.

Black lives still matter.

I thought so, although she does seem pretty fat. I was thinking it could possibly be Nylanderia but I guess not.
