       i was walking along lake shore in etobicoke about 10 minutes from the lake i am not sure at all what it could be i think it might be some type of Formica but this is my first year of keeping ants i only started in jun so far i have 1 camponotus pennsylvanicus , 3 camponotus novaeboracensis and now this one 

 

1. Location of collection: etobicoke lake-shore

2. Date of collection: 24 July 2018

3. Habitat of collection: on the road next to the curb

4. Length: Queen: 14mm

5. Coloration, hue, pattern and texture:black with dark red/brown legs if looking really close kinda looks like a smaller version of camponotus pennsylvanicus 

6. Distinguishing characteristics: grayish band / sheen on gaster really reactive to light runs around in light of any kind except red really fast and agile

You’ll get similar responses as your previous thread regarding this if you don’t provide any pictures and a definitive answer can not be given.
