Why frassing?
If this turns out to be L. neoniger, we only have a handful of images and none from your state. Maybe we should keep these images a little longer.

not a really great pic
but I'll be happy to keep it around if it is worth it for the info. I have other "not really great pics" around the site too because of their informational value! :)

Looks like Lasius to me. Most likely Lasius neoniger.
