Queen ID needed in Maine
Today I found this girl burrowed in the hard packed sand, under a staging plank that had been undisturbed for a couple months. She is around 10mm and light brown, almost yellowish in color. She had no eggs, but there were 3 other ants in similar burrows under the same lumber only inches away. They were smaller and all black.

Re: Queen ID needed in Maine
Given it's light color, there's a good chance it's Lasius flavus or Lasius nearcticus.

Thanks for the ID! Any ideas about the 3 other ants in similar burrows under the same lumber only inches away. They were about half the size or less. Could they be related or just a coincidence? I will try to post a pic tonight.

Here are the other 3 ants I found under the same plank just inches away in their own little burrows. They are about 7-8mm.
