Lasius sp probably neoniger. I’ll need to see the mandible teeth to identify correctly.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

I can’t really see the teeth.

Lasius americanus (formerly Lasius alienus) is the only Lasius sp. from the niger group flying in Eastern NA until mid August.
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.
