I thought Formica subsericea too, but then I looked at my queen and they don’t seem to match. AntsWisconsin, once the workers arrive could you post a picture of them too, that might help. :)
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.
