Good afternoon friends.

I was fortunate enough to find myself in the middle of a nuptial flight! I took a few queens who have started laying eggs already and I have no idea how to identify. They would found on a paver patio.
It looks to be a little shorter than 1/4”.
I’m also having trouble taking good, clear photographs. Any ideas would be helpful.
Hopefully someone can identify this with the low quality picture!

Thank you for all the help!

I'm guessing that they’re brachymyrmex, specifically brachymyrmex obscurior.

Currently keeping

-B. patagonicus

I will want to also keep some other lasius types in the future.
