I have no idea why this is an emergency, but this looks like a Formica social parasite. She will need pupae from another Formica nest.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
