Yes that is Lasius americanus.

Not only does L. americanus fly way earlier than neoniger, they also look completely different from neoniger.

Definitely not americanus, almost definitely neoniger, I don't think we get much if any pallitarsis on Long Island.

Upon further research, it is Lasius neoniger. Also because this queen is neoniger, should the queen I found also be a Lasius neoniger queen? Link https://www.formicul...en/#entry208623

Considering that Lasius americanus almost always get workers before diapause while neoniger generally overwinters before laying eggs, probably.

depending on region i have heard
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
