Check the Idaho Fish and Game. It'll give you a list of some of the confirmed ants

Thank you! I appreciate the help. I will let you know if I find any queens. I'm excited for it to rain.

I found one camponotus vicinus queen. But she sadly passed away.

Today I found a bunch of, what I'm being told is, tetramorium queens and winged males. But none of them have shed their wings. So I'm suspecting they might be from the same colony

If you're in Northern Idaho, the nuptial flights for tetramorium is happening. I spied a few getting ready to take off the last couple of mornings
