Re: I may have caught a queen?
Please take a measurement with a ruler. This looks like a Lasius sp. queen. She is about 7-8mm's I think, it was kind of hard to measure her as she kept moving around. I'm pretty sure it's either a lasius niger or neglectus one, both seem to live here in Sweden too. I've had her for a little over a...
