Just a coincidence??? ID help
Hello everyone! So I just found this queen ant, she’s 7mm about, she was scurrying across my patio, but there’s more, so I had just released a very small colony of five queens and 8 workers into the wild (they were native, we have them everywhere), I believe they might have been the same species as the one I just caught, the reason I released them is because they were acting strange, aggressive, and we’re just disorderly. Also, the new queen does not have any sort of sand or anything on her like the other queens that I released from the formicarium, she is spotless. I just need to know if they fly around this time of year and what species she is so I can be sure she is not from the batch I released. Thanks!!!

Also, I released the batch 40 ft away from where I found her, and I found her only five minutes after they were released. Also, does this species of ant have their nuptials flights during this time of year???
