Always include a location and measurement with an ID request. ;)


If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

 

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

Approximately 11-12mm. It was on the sidewalk at around 7pm in Sioux Falls, Southeastern South Dakota...

Thanks! Sorry if I missed the location in the title. It's good to reiterate within the post. She is most likely Lasius neoniger.
