I know there may already be a post similar to this on the forum because the last time I tried the photo wouldn't work. Sorry about that.
Date of capture: late July
Habitat of capture: small sandy beach in an oak/pine forest
Length: about 4mm
Other details: ››excellent grip on smooth surfaces
››found in between two large formica colonies, if that helps

Photos still don't work. It's how they are uploaded/shared, not anything wrong with your previous thread, per se.
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.

Hmm. Describe the habitat you found the queen in. There's a very small chance I'm correct, but it reminds me of Dolichoderus taschenbergi.

I found her at a sandy beach, but the beach was surrounded by an oak/pine forest. To me, she looks like either Tapinoma sessile or Brachymyrmex sp., but I can't narrow it down any further.

Upon further investigation, I think you're right; It looks like Tapinoma sessile.
