Litty bitty queen ID!

I happened to catch another queen! Found her under a flower pot.

Southeast, MO. 8/3/17, about 1 cm. Very dark head and abdomen with brownish thorax. She spent quite a bit of time cleaning those long antennae after being caught. And don't worry. The tube she's currently in is clean.

I can get better pics if you need them.

1 cm is about twice as long as Nylanderia should be. I would check the measurements.
