I just found these tiny ants near my rabbit hutches. It has rained and the sun had come out and I saw the shimmer of wings on the ground. I actually found 3, each about 6 feet apart. My phone takes really bad shots but this ant is only maybe 4-5 mm if that. Pheidole?? Suggestions on which one? One has dropped wings since she was in the tube. Thx for any wisdom shared.

Lasius males, probably L. americanus.

So are they in breeding mode or are these just getting booted out of the nests? I didn't see them on the flight list for North America. Sorry for the ignorance, I am a new ant keeper, and have mostly got Camponotus.

Lasius usually start flying around this time, so they could very well be having their nuptial flight.
