Hello Guys, thats me again, I found a Queen, in the pictures you can see the Queen, the messure is about 0.35 to 0.4 CM. some characteristics: looks like a mini Lasius, gaster with straight hair addressing back area, tiny and shy, it is not a Solenopsis Molesta, I got it at the same season to the mentioned ant queens but when I compared with the Solenopsis, the Peciole is very diferent because I didnt see Post Peciole, I add the date in the topic to verify what species have nuptial flight this month. I Add a picture below, I appreciate your help...

She could be either Lasius or Brachymyrmex.

I was looking in different pages about Lasius in Canada, but noone with this messuares, I think that can be Brachymyrmex Obscurior because I was reading about this Characteristic and is posible, the queen has 0.4 - 0.43 CM, that is the same that I got here!!!

She is fully claustral so she does not require feeding. Maybe this can help you: https://www.formiculture.com/topic/3549-care-sheet-lasius-neoniger/

Thank you so much, the post that you put it is for Lasius, but help because said that is claustral, now is not dificult to understand the behaviour.

My best regards!!!

I think she is most likely Brachymyrmex spp.
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.

For sure is Brachymyrmex and mostly Obscurior, in this country only two tipes registers; Brachymyrmex Depilis and Brachymyrmex Obscurior, now I am very sure that is Brachymyrmex Obscurior.
