Can someone help me identify this ant colony?
I live in the United States, New York. Recently, my friend found this colony of these beautiful yellow ants and I am dying to know what species it is so I can get some more information on them.

Here are some pictures I took,

They are a parasitic species of the genus Lasius.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
