Hello everybody!
I caught 3 queens of the same genus yesterday and they're all 5-7mm long. I'm currently keeping them in a medication container with a wet cotton ball before I move them into test tubes. I was wondering if anybody could identify them? My best guess is Tapinoma Sessile.

2 Petiole Nodes; Definitely Not Tapinoma Sessile.

This is Tetramorium sp. E, which are having their nuptial flights across much of North America.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
