Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

I think it's body is completely dark red and the very top of the gaster is dark red but the rest of the gaster is back sorry for the bad resolution on some of the photos my iPhone wouldn't focus that close but I cropped one image to get a closer look but it just made it really bad Image Image Image

Possibly camponotus queen. Need clearer pics though. They make macro lenses that attach to phones for pretty cheap. :D
