Additionally: Pretty sure they are Tetromorium sp. E but just wanted second opinion.

The photo did not work, but this might help you: https://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?p=99479#p99479
Also, Tetramorium sp. E is now known as Tetramorium immigrans (the taxonomists finally deceived).
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.

They're not Tetramorium. Also, I updated my instructions: https://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?p=99546#p99546

I thought they look like lasius flavus but i don't think they are found where you saw them
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

Maybe, but the abdomen does not look right for Lasius, I don't think they are.
