Can someone ID this species? It was found under tree bark and is about 2mm (in terms of queens and workers) seems like monomorium but they aren’t pharaoh ants and there aren’t any other orange species of ants in Florida in that genus.

Thanks!!

Possible temnothorax sp. but probably pharaoh ants however I’m no expert in Florida’s ants.


I keep: C. modoc, C. sansabeanus  :D, C. maritimus, Formica argentea, M. mexicanus  :D, Odontomachus brunneus :D, Pogonomyrmex californicus, Pogonomyrmex rugosus,

That’s what I thought too, but the queens look semi claustral, not claustral, so I ruled out solenopsis
