Today at the morning (7:30am) I found this queen at my yard. It's mostly black, but with the head reddish brown, it's a little over 1cm long.

Thanks for your help.

She looks like a species of Pheidole, but that's about as well as I can do.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.
