I forgot to size her. Smaller than a camponotus Queen.

I can tell you it’s formicidae. Not much else with that picture and no measurements
Could be a Lasius

Spoiler

Honestly it’s the best I could get

Obviously the pictures are crap but she’s pretty brown.
I was also thinking Lasius.

I will tell you what it is when the post is in proper ID format.

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies.

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

It would take you about 1 minute!!!! It is very simple really. Also, you can just look up pictures of the species of Lasius in you state, and figure out which one fits best. That is what I do.
