I caught this queen June 21 on my pool deck in my back yard. She is 4 to 5 mm in length all black with light hairs.

Brachymyrmex patagonicus, well, I guess it could be B. obscurior, but probably the former.

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).

Agreed with Brachymyrmex patagonicus. B. obscurior are a lot more dominant in south and central Florida.
