I think Formica pallidefulva or some parasitic type.

Definitely a parasitic type of Formica, like F. aserva.

Keeping:

3x - S. molesta 

1x - C. chromaiodes

2x - F. pallidefulva

2x - C. cerasi

1x - B. depilis

2x P. imparis (colonies) 3x P. imparis queens (1x queen in test tube, 3x queens in test tube, and 6x queens in another test tube. Can't wait to see the results!)

 

Check out my C. chromaiodes journal here: https://www.formicul...aiodes-journal/

No. This is a member of the Formica pallidefulva-group. Raptiformica have different color patterning and thinner builds.
