*ID REQUEST* Colony was found in an oak log in Michigan. very hard to get pics due to the ants speed and tiny size. i know its not Lasuis. it looks like a super tiny camponotus pennsylvanicus. its solid black. Size would be about the same as a Tetramorium caespitum. could that be what she is?

How do you know it isn't Lasius? It looks like Lasius to me.

We also need a real measurement for an ID.
