I went out acting today to find some lasius workers since I couldn't find brood for my parasite queen wondering if this is lasius and If I can use them. Didn't mean to catch the elates and will let them go back to the nest.
Date of collection: September 7
Habitat of collection: under wood
Length (from head to gaster): 1/4 for workers and 3/8 for the elates
Color, hue, pattern and texture: yellow workers and brown queens
Distinguishing characteristics: yellow workers
Nest description: under a log in the soil

Uh, I'm not so sure about that. I don't think we can tell for sure without clearer images.
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).
