Hey guys! I caught this ant earlier today because I haven't seen one in my area similar to it. It seems to be of a semi-claustral species and I was curious if anyone could identify it so that I could research and have better chances of catching a queen in the near future. Here are some images. The worker ant is about 6-7mm long and caught in the Charlotte, North Carolina area

Aphaenogaster sp.
Aphaenogaster are "fully" claustral -- the ones that aren't social parasites, at least.

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.
