Lasius interjectus. They are the only North American Lasius which fly this early in the year (not to be confused with dealate queens from the previous fall).

Boom, there's the link: http://www.formiculture.com/topic/3252-much-ado-about-the-founding-of-lasius-temporary-social-parasites/

You are the one I was waiting to comment on this . That's exactly what I was thinking she was. At the same time I was kind of hoping I was wrong. I'm sure if i took the time to locate a lasius species I could probably found a colony but being as I am still rather new to this I think I will let them both go. I would rather them live than me try to found a colony and them die at this early of a stage in my experience with ant keeping. I am getting rather decent with identifying them I think . As long as you pay attention to all the minor details it's not really that hard but it's the minor details that make all the difference. I appreciate your help once again.
