I don't necessarily need location, but I need sizes and better pictures of the face.
Also, if you put the information in the format that is pinned at the top of the Ant ID Request thread, it makes information easy to access for everyone.

Myrmecocystus Mexicanus
ID is not always based off of color. I have seen records of mexicanus having more dark color abdomens

This is most likely M. mexicanus, but giving as much information as possible for an ID request helps a lot.

This is definitely Myrmecocystus, maybe mexicanus. However specific Id will be impossible from pictures no matter what anyone says.

You need the measurement of the queen. Both m. Mexicanus and Navajos are yellow. They actually looked like Navajos to me because the repletes are smaller. Mexicanus repletes are relatively huge!

Replete size is far too variable, esp. in captivity for such a feature to be useful in making a species identification. The only way to get a species identification would be to mount a specimen or two or three and compare the with accurately identified material.
