Lasius flavus

[Gryziel]

I found and grabbed a new Lasius Flavus queen, but something is wrong with her.I had that spieces many times but with that queen ist something wrong.She has small abdomen and little(very very little) though withered wings.When i came to this swarming place i saw typical Lasius flavus workers near nest and a lot of queen with that same problems.Anybody saw something like that?Maybe incest or genetic disease? Sorry for language but I'm from Poland

Queens of parasitic species usually have small gasters, isn't it Lasius Umbratus ? They are a bit yellowish as well and they are quite small like Lasius Flavus.Maybe you can take a picture so we can help you identify her.

I do not have this queen anymore maybe in fact it was Lasius umbratus, If i catch this queen again I'll put pictures.I know exactly when this nests are sooo .
