Could it also be Formica aserva?

Hi,

I caught a queen which I believe to be Formica today, however I am unsure of the species of Formica. She is red with a black gaster and was captured in Massachusetts, USA. (I don’t have photos because I don’t want to disturb her) Does anyone know what species she could be?

Thanks

I have a reptile heating mat and a thermostat to regulate its temperature. I was wondering what temperature to set for my carpenter ant (camponotus novaeboracensis) colony. What temperate do they grow best in? Btw I live in Massachusetts.

Thanks!
