I got in touch with James Trager (taxonomist) and he says "The queen is definitely Formica podzolica, a close but more northern and western relative of F. subsericea."
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.
