Can't Tell If Lasius or Tetramorium

Hi all,

Can someone help me ID my colony? Found the queen in NYC. My best guesses are Lasius Americanus or Tetramorium Immigrans, but I can't really tell.

Trying to figure this out now mainly because they became very inactive in the past couple weeks. I guess they're hibernating or something? Unforunately, I live in an apartment so I don't have a cold room to put them in, and my fridge has a bad tendency to freeze some of the stuff I put in there, so I don't want to put them in there either. I know it's not ideal but I really don't want to kill the colony.

Thanks,
Anthony

It is definitely Lasius Americanus because I own a colony of Tetramorium Immigans, and they don't look anything like that. Plus, I asked some of my friends and they said it was Lasius too.
