Ant Queen ID (thank you)
Hi, about 0.5cm long, caught in central sweden, stockholm.
The Gaster is a bit squashed because when I found her she had already been making a tiny home with 3 eggs/pupaes and when I lifted the rock she ran away so I snatched her fast and unfortionatly caught her in the gaster.... so it is a bit deformed, but she has layed new eggs so it works!
Hope the images are good enough, thanks!

It looks like the black house ant ( Ochetellus Glaber)
or the
pavement ant (tetramorium caespitum)

Re: Ant Queen ID (thank you)
It doesent look like a Ochetellus Glaber queen, but probably a tetramorium sp. However, do tetramorium like moisture in their nests?

Tetramorium are mostly dry ants they do like a little bit of moisture

Re: Ant Queen ID (thank you)
I don't think it is a Tetramorium, either. The shape of the gaster looks different.

Re: Ant Queen ID (thank you)
Formica queens look like a combo of Camponotus and Lasius combined
