Lasius myops is not present in the USA, but once again more details are needed to make an accurate ID.

Probably Lasius claviger, although there aren't any visible features to determine which species of Acanthomyops this may be.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
