Need an ID

I've had these for about 3 months now. I found the queen, some eggs and workers underneath a bag of dirt in the backyard. Any help in identifying them would be greatly appreciated.

I agree. Remember: both a measurement and location with every ID.

I actually had the same species up until about 2 weeks ago and I released mine. For some reason I had a hard time getting mine to take anything sweet but they took to protein like crazy.
