collected on sidewalk near some grass in Langley BC Canada
found late September 20-25 (sorry its been a while)
habitat: grass or forested area
11mm long
dark red black in color
I'm not sure, very generic, no spike or large protrusions, smooth, thorax isn't as exaggerated as many other species
caught very late and so only started laying niantics about 3 weeks ago
i have no idea what the nest looked like i'm guessing just a hole near the sidewalk
i did not witness the nuptial flight however it was over by the time i caught her
i couldn't figure out the file attachment: ill link imgur instead
https://imgur.com/a/Vcbg0G4
if more images are need i can try harass her again for more
thanks guys I'm new to all this so if someone could link me a guide for that species

Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
