I am bad at ant IDs, particularly worker ids. So I thought I should know the species of ants living right in my backyard to help get a better grasp of identifying ants as a whole. At first I was thinking Linepithema humile, but under a macro-lense it strikes me more as a Myrmicinae, of which Argentine Ants are not. Any help will be appreciated.
