I think I may have caught my second F. neogagatus this year, but I could use verification please.
Toronto, July 28, 11mm

Looks like Formica argentea or Formica subsericea, based on hair coverage and length of the scapes.
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.

Thanks again Batspiderfish. I'm leaning toward subserecia.
CanadianAnter seems to catch a lot of those in Toronto. Haven't heard him mention argentea yet.

Very pretty queen!
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
