I found 4 more queen ants and need help iding them!!! Two I believe are Lasius neoniger. Link:https://photos.app.goo.gl/mwTJgPy8L2xojBYi7
One I think is Myrmica (not sure what species). Link:

And one which I am supper exited about I think is Tetramorium sp. e! I am so exited because they don't live this far north, so I always hope I'll catch one while down in central Iowa. Link:

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.

I don’t think it is myrmica. Myrmica are typically smaller.

Thanks, it's going to be interesting to keep ants without social stomachs!
