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.

Definitely Formica, although we wouldn't be able to identify further without pictures showing off hair coverage.
