Pretty certain they are a Tetramorium species. Found earlier this year but I was unwell and didn't get around to uploading images until now.

I second this, they are the only species recorded in Michigan. The only other species that lives anywhere close is T. tsushimae, and their younger non-callow workers usually have a distinct bicolored pattern,, which these do not.

"God made..... all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds (including ants). And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:25 NIV version

 

Formerly called AntsDakota, not to be confused with Ants_Dakota (hence the name change). You can still call me Adak.

 

Keeping:

Tetramorium immigrans

Formica cf. pallidefulva, cf. incerta, cf. subsericea, unidentified fusca group sp. 

Formica cf. ravida, cf. obscuriventris

Myrmica sp.
