Has anyone ever been anting in NC specifically around the Corolla area near Duck and Kitty Hawk? Was looking through Inaturalist and I found what seems to be a decent population of T. Septentrionalis, I will link the posts here:   https://www.inatural...ations/7596204 

If you look on the map right around the same spot there are 4 total, could also just be Dorymyrmex though but I feel like its Trachy

I just wanted to bring this back up because I am still down in NC and I want to go check it out but I don't want to waste my time if there is like 0 chance that it's Trachy, thanks for any help

Trachymyrmex are present in North Carolina. Most if not all would be hibernating by now, though. Remember that you’d need permits to bring them back to Virginia in any case.
