Found these queens around 11:30 this morning and there was a few of them crawling around. Looks like an aphaenogaster but it’s pretty substantial amount smaller that aphaenogaster. I put 2 together and they must be sisters because they are fine together but just want to know maybe what these could be.
Thanks.

Just know Myrmica typically sting. Work carefully around them.

Myrmica aren't common in VA. Although occasionally I've come across areas with that are dense with colonies. They like to nest in man-made drainage ditches in subdivisions. Other than that, I never see them.
