Ant Queen ID (thank you)

[tiger01vincent]

Thanks every bodie! Yes I agree its a formica, by looking at some black formica species.... Thanks again, and if you wondered why her gaster is a bit wierd, read the first post by me, there I explain.

BTW: does formica like moisture? And how large does the workers get? Are there polymorphisism in the species? (differens sizes for different jobs)

Can anyone specify within formica? (or do you need better pictures for that)

I live in central sweden, and I caught her under a rock already having a bunch of brewd and eggs, gathered them all and put her in the tube. This was 3 weeks ago, so I am guessing she had her nuptial flight maybie 4 weeks ago!? (if that info maybie helps)

Also, I have 5 queens, but I am in love with this one the most, so I am going to keep her probably, with that said I have a few questions about her and her species:

Do they like moisture?

Do they have Polymorphisism (I think that's what it's called, when a major worker gets a bit larger than commons) ?

How big does the colonies usually get?

THANK YOU ALL WHO HAVE RESPONDED AND THE ONES WHO (hopefully ) WILL RESPOND <3

All ants need moisture or they will dry out . As for your other questions I can't answer those , I suggest researching them .
