Parasitic Lasius for sure the gaster is thinnerthan most of the species a single petiole. Amd a little trick I kinda learned. Acanthomyops (parasitic lasius) have an almost lobster or shrimp look to the leg position of the front legs.
Ants are life's most successful invaders. Understand and respect that power.

I like when I copy and paste you're names and see that I was right about being parasitic... and it's nice that it's not correcting post... means I'm learning!
