I'm pretty sure that this is a Lasius umbratus queen, but I would like a confirmation.
Toronto, Canada. Caught May 17.
Additionally, does anyone have any good pictures of Lasius workers? I'm not quite sure what they look like, and it turned out what I thought was Lasius workers was actually Prenolepis imparis.
Might have injured Her Majesty slightly, but she just sits on the cotton ball all day.

L. umbratus. They are still out in abundance after hibernation. I expect to keep finding them until late June.
