Found today around 7:55 around 7mm and I think she has a stinger. Please Identify, I am thinking some sort of lasius.
My first orange queen!

I can't really see her well, but this seems like a queen.

Re: My first orange queen!
Yep, I agree 100%. I have found four of these little beauties already this year. I let mine go. I'm not ready for a parasite Queen just yet. It would have been a different story if I had more knowledge of the Lasius sp in general.Batspiderfish wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2017 9:20 pmLasius interjectus

I was going to set her free this morning however when I checked on her in her test tube setup she unfortunately passed away.
