This guy in Lowa needs some help IDing this colony of fast-moving ants. The queen was caught on his house(in a suburban area) and he found it in July. He can’t get a measurement but he estimates about 1/2 an inch. It’s most likely Paratrechina longicornis. Picture: https://imgur.com/a/snNAp

Paratrechina longicornis isn't found in Iowa, if that's what you're asking. Unless Lowa is something else.

Formica or Lasius.


Just a little boy that likes ants. I try my best to be mature and competent.

Me thinks they are a  Formica species in the Fusca group.
