I Believe to be Formica subsercia, is this accurate?

 

1. Location of collection (ie: park/area, city/town, state/province, country). : A park right outside of Omaha, Nebraska.

2. Date of collection (more important for ID's of queens). :
3. Habitat of collection (ie: desert scrub, oak forest, riparian, etc.). : Cotton Wood forest
4. Length to the nearest millimeter : 11mm
5. Coloration, hue, pattern and texture : Dark, deep glossy black. with the queens gaster having a couple of almost clear bits.
6. Distinguishing characteristics : Hard to tell but I believe one petiole
7. Anything else distinctive : N/A
8. Nest description (if you can find the nest, and you're sure it belongs to the ant you collected) : N/A

9. Nuptial flight time and date : N/A
10 . Post the clearest pictures possible of the top, side, and face of the ant in question, and if possible, their nest and the habitat they were collected in.

 

Formica subsercia?
