I found these around my backyard near rocks.These ants are about 4/16 of an inch. I know for a fact that these aren't queens. I'm hoping that they are Lasius ( so I can use them for my L. Umbratus queen). They have a black gaster and head but a brownish body.

 

Thanks,

Not Lasius unfortunately. They look like Formica sp.
