Complete greenhorn here, but I would believe the two individual queens in the attached pictures to be Tetramorium. I found them in Southeastern Pennsylvania, not far from two different nests of pavement ants. Correct me if I'm wrong and let me know if you think you have the species!

Yes, Tetramorium immigrans.

Keeping:

1x - S. molesta REBOOT (founding) 1x - C. pennsylvanicus (founding) (y) New!

2x - C. chromaiodes (founding queen and colony)

1x - T. sessile (mega colony)

1x - C. nearcticus (alate ==> founding?)

Aren’t they supposed to be called Tetramorium E, or something like that?

My father always said I had ants in my pants.

That was a while back, but they've been T. immigrans since around 2015/2016 or so.

Just a tip, but I'd recommend that you build up rep through contributing in the latest posts, rather than dropping suggestions in year-old ID threads.
