I caught it last night, and i live in Alabama. I think it is a sugar ant, but I’m not sure.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HXFadoZNVZBKsKWV4DXmF5Q0Xccn5cJK/view?usp=drivesdk

I think Brachymyrmex Patagonicus or Tapinoma sessile. It may be a species of lasius but since we don't have lasius this far south I don't know.
Keeping ants for 6 years now.

Current Species: Camponotus pennsylvanicus, Camponotus decipiens,Camponotus snellingi Solenopsis invicta,Nylanderia sp,Brachmyrmex patagonicus,Pheidole obscurothorax,Pheidole moerens,Pachycondyla harpax
