A friend of mine thought this might have been a winter ant? Do you think that’s a possibility?
No, those fly in April/May.
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.

Does anyone have any input on what these species might be? I’ve looked into the lasius brevicornis and they’re not native to Michigan.
New Ant Lover! Can’t wait to watch my colony grow :D
