Taken just after the sunset at about 930 in southern ontario on my cellphone(gotta start bringing my camera everywhere heh)
They are tiny I didn't have a measuring tape on me but maybe 1 mm long each

Almost walked right past them they were so small but there were so many anyway pretty sure they are all workers but not sure their exact species

Looks like Lasius and Myrmica.
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.

Hah keeping ya on your toes and fresh I see. Thanks I thought one was Lasius

But better safe than sorry (nothing worse than posting an incorrect name and having people freak out and fight over it haha)
