Caught this queen yesterday in a pine forest in Nevada, she is about 4mm long, seems to be a species of pheidole. Thanks.Ptn8z71sDI0fZ539_kat9Hf-n7xQ7ZigKDJbBTM2TNBy1hZwp-W3LfSCMmv5pT69ZhKCwP3Vm__6pl7R_UyNyZzNXHDvRQkR-7eGlCAVvfuSWFjgH7_D8i4J

It is quite possible it is that species, however, the tricarinatus group is a tad difficult to ID, so I think tricarinatus group is the furthest you can go without workers.

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).

I guess, i used to have a colony of them and their queens looked identical from old picture on my phone
