Could this be Myrmica?

I'm not a smart man.  All of my last posts I copy-pasted from a previous post, changed the link location but *not* the address.  I fixed the one above and will go through and fix the rest.  Thank you all for totally confirming my myrmica find from yesterday, though.
I feel dumb.  :)
