She was found crossing the road in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in the afternoon today 7-22-18. She is around 11mm long. She still has one wing. I'm guessing Formica subsericea?

Nice pictures! Without a doubt a Formica and i think subsericea is very likely
First year of antkeeping, already enjoying it!

Currently founding:

Lasius niger
Lasius umbratus
Lasius flavus

Still hoping to find a Formica queen.
