I was searching for pogonomyrmex here in North Dallas the other day and I know they like open nests so I started thinking of a baseball diamond because they have good drainage and tend to stay dry. The field I was searching in was full of fire ants but I did see this humble mound, definitely not fire ant. I know it can be hard to identify without a microscope or a clear view of the gaster. Here is the video:

Re: What are these?
a good way to ID them would be to catch a worker or two and take pics at your house 

almost one year of ant keeping
keeping:
a restarting camponotus queen
one crematogaster queen
and a bunch of lasius umbratus queens (to lazy to count them all)

macro shots would be nice and do you know the size of the ants
