Since that moment I've found them two other times, each time in a dandelion.   Apparently that pollen is DELICIOUS.  I've looked in my other flowers and no luck.   No idea where their nests are as they are impossible to find in the lawn, but I feel like they would be amazing ants to keep if you could keep them inside the nest!   So cool.   

search in pavement ant colonies in my area they mostly parasitize on those

I totally will!  Thanks!  Crap, am I gonna have to try and keep a pavement ant colony too???? HAHAHAH, dangit!  Might be worth it to see how it works.  I'm kind of at my max right now with 5 colonies but that's a neat idea to catch two at once.
