Northeastern Michigan, lower penninsula - sandy opening in a heavily wooded area.

Found at 6pm

8mm long

Black

Rain ended today at 7am

No nuptial flight witnessed, although a multi species Lasius flight did occur last night, and a parasitic Lasius flight occurred today while I found this queen. I found several lasius latipes, and two other parasitic lasius species (umbratus and clavigar possibly) crawling all over the place.

I'm confident that this is Crematogaster Cerasi, but wanted to consult the experts just in case.
