Caught this lady in Oregon on June 18. She is small, maybe 8 mm long. Very slight hint of red on the abdomen. I was thinking a tetramorium of some sort, not sure which species though. I could be wrong about the tetramorium part too, just want to double check.

Re: Ant Queen, Oergon
Tetramorium! I don't remember which species is in the us, and which is in europe, but it is either Teramorium Caespitum, or Tetramorium sp.E. It doesn't matter which it is because the only difference that matters is that they are from a different country.
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
