Caught at a porch light. I had thousands of Brachymrymex queens flying and caught this among them.

Looks like a male Lasius, although kinda big. Maybe from the claviger group?

That would make sense. I caught some Lasius claviger queens a couple days ago. The large head made me think queen, but the smaller gaster had me confused.
