I caught this lady in my kitchen on May 9th 2017. I live in the Kansas City Area. She is 9mm. She was more redish when I first got her but is darker with more brown now.

Hopefully the pics and info is enough to ID her.

Looks like Camponotus nearcticus or C. caryae to me. I also assume you mean 9mm.

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.

Black lives still matter.

yeah, 9mm. There was a big push to change to the metric system back in mid 70's when I was in 7th grade. They should have just done it. I could go on and on about how much I hate the American standard measurements and how difficult they are.
