The closest you can find to myrmecocystus would be prenolepis imparis.

I keep: pogonomyrmex rugosus | myrmecocystus depilis | monomorium ergatogyna | Camponotus CA-02 | Pheidole Bicarinata
And many Carnivorous plants such as: Dionea muscipula (fly trap), Sarracenia x 'Fiona' ( American Pitcher plant), Nepenthese ventrata (Tropical Pitcher plant), and Pinguicula agnata x emarginata (Butterwort) (show off your plants here)
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores it's provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. Proverbs 6: 6-8

the farthest east you can find them is in texas from what i see. they are basically a desert exclusive, though a few like Mediterranean climates and can be found in coastal california.
In your area i would focus more on camponotus- youve got a couple of nice ones there- subbarbatus and castaneus- both are great looking Camponotus.
you also should have quite a nice diversity of formica and with formica you have polyergus, you have lasius and parasitic lasius too

I have Castaneus and Subbarbatus, as well as a few Lasius species. I guess the next thing I would wanna look for is Pheidole or Crematogaster.
