Found late June, already dead so I can't say when exactly they flew. The workers are around 6 mm and the queen is about 10 mm. workers are fast and aggressive and a light brown color.

I would need photos from all three angles (Head, top, and side), to confirm, but I'm leaning towards Formica francoeuri.

 

Formica sp. Needs location

 

His location is in the title, but I agree, he should follow the correct ID template and list it in his post as well.

I'm pretty sure it's from the F. fusca group. I would probably say F. subsericea, F. subaenescens, F. montana, or F. argentea.
