I caught this on 8/22/17 (sorry for poor picture quality, I don't have a real camera on hand) About 2 - 4 mm
I know this isn't a queen, but I have never seen these ants in my area and today evening, I her running around near a play structure in a park, right next to a forest. I think it is lasius, and the flights are about to happen, so I would appreciate a response. Let me know if you want more pictures.
Please help me identify this species!!

I think its Camponotus pennsylvanicus worker
With all the things ants can do, you wonder, who rules the planet
Keeper of:
Camponotus Pennsylvanicus
Pheidole sp.

Are you sure? I though camponotus had much smaller workers than that. If not lasius, maybe odorous house ants?

Probably Dorymyrmex sp., or possibly Liomeptum. Hard to tell from the one photograph.
