I would say Formica pallidefulva. Are you sure that is 5-6mm?

I had to take a picture to see anything. Other pictures (not worth posting), did show the wing scars and Petiole.
 

Found her in my back yard on 7/2/2018. in the 5-6mm range, Dark red head thorax and legs. Abdomen is dark not seeming to have any red. There is one Petiole on the waist.

 

I can try to take a few more pix if that would help.

 

Thanks

Hudson

Definitely a Formica species. I would agree with AntsAreUs on Formica pallidefulva.

Good catch AntsAreUs, she is at least 1cm. I’m not sure how I came up with 5-6.
Thanks
