Re: Species Identification
ID requests require a location, measurement, and preferably a photograph. Assuming these ants are from Indiana, I would say they look a lot like Prenolepis imparis.
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.

These ants were found in central Minnesota, approximately 6mm in length, and I quickly got out my camera and filmed before realizing later that a squirrel had taken the ants' food so I couldn't take a photograph.

Re: Species Identification
Did you actually measure them? That sounds too big.

Looks like Prenolepis imparis . If you live in North America, at least.
