I found these in my mailbox this morning and collected them along with 2 of their queens. I have moved them into my only available formicarium ( I know, it’s too big. I will figure something out.) and they cooperated quite well. Anyways can anyone help me ID them? Here’s a picture.( if you need more I will post some.): https://share.icloud...ikEwmgJ2Kck4D1w

Okay, thank you! I did not mean to make a duplicate of this topic, I thought it had failed to send. Thank you for all your help.
