queen id help
I found her on a wooded trail here in central new York. On the way back saw a flat rock and I sensed ants lol. And here I found this queen with some workers and a some brood. There was a couple other colonies under the rock too. One looked like a slightly smaller citronella ant, the other was another kind of black ant idk what genus. This queen is in between 5-6mm.

Aphaenogaster sp. It would be easier to identify by the worker, especially if photographed from the side.
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.
fast guys lol-

Re: queen id help
I'm leaning towards Aphaenogaster fulva.
